As it turns out the boss had been padding his expense reports when he was filling in and going to Puerto Rico and didn't want accounting to see the difference
Yeah, my father got in trouble over an expense report that way eons ago. His boss went to the same conference and submitted an expense report 4x as big. I don't know the end disposition of it, though.
