Another electronics store was taken for millions by an invoice-fixing scheme: a buyer for Best Buy and a vendor have been charged with overcharging Best Buy $31 million over four years.

Similar to last week’s story about a Fry’s VP embezzling millions, Best Buy vendor relations manager Robert Bosany and Abby and Russell Cole of Chip Factory allegedly submitted inflated invoices for computer parts to Best Buy, then pocketed the difference. The Coles allegedly used some of their kickbacks to buy a $2.8 million home.
