- 6 - West Jersey collected from Pullman was required to be paid over to Simmel. During 1978 through 1981, some of West Jersey's funds were diverted from West Jersey by Mr. Walker and Reilly, West Jersey's two shareholders. They diverted and obtained these funds by having West Jersey's bookkeeper write checks on West Jersey's corporate checking account payable to various employees and vendors of West Jersey, endorse the checks with the payee's name, cash the checks, and give over the funds obtained to Mr. Walker or Reilly. These fictitious payments to employees and vendors were then deducted on West Jersey's income tax returns as part of its promotional expenses, freight, and other miscellaneous expenses.
