owner and president of Zebrowski. Petitioner was in charge of
the day-to-day operations of Zebrowski's Gulf Coast Division.
Zebrowski sold the scrap from its demolition jobs to scrap
companies, including Southern Scrap (Southern). Demolition
companies and other scrap producers would deliver scrap to
Southern. The scrap would be weighed, and a scale ticket would
be issued indicating the type and the weight of the scrap. The
scrap seller would take the scale ticket to Southern's office to
request payment. Southern made payments for scrap by both check
and cash. Often, a seller requested a large cash payment when
Southern had insufficient cash available in its office. When
this occurred, Southern would make a check payable to Barnett
Bank for the appropriate amount and an employee would go to
Barnett Bank to cash the check. The cash would be brought back
to Southern, counted, and distributed to the scrap seller.
When Zebrowski began selling scrap to Southern, the payments
were made by check and mailed to Zebrowski's Michigan office.
This procedure changed, however, at some point in 1988.
Southern's payments for Zebrowski scrap then included checks made
payable to petitioner and to Nelson, as well as cash.
During 1988, numerous checks were issued by Southern in
payment for Zebrowski scrap. Approximately 41 checks were issued
payable to petitioner by Southern in payment for Zebrowski scrap.
At least 17 Southern checks were made payable to Nelson. Many of
these checks were deposited into a joint bank account maintained
