November - December 2020

This edition addresses the irrational fear of cash usage by retail customers during the pandemic. We also interview experts from Home Depot, law enforcement, and a state attorney general’s office about partnering to fight ORC. There is an-depth look at perhaps the largest ORC bust in recent history. And we examine how internal theft may be a larger threat to retail than imagined.
