April 18, 2023 at 11:02 pmThis is just unbelievable and shocking this was allowed to go on for over a decade. DHL and Atlas should seriously look at their choice so a CFO as she signed off on these fraudulent contracts. Not sure if she was in on it, turned a blind eye or just was not doing her job. Shameful all around.
