    U2 bassist Adam Clayton claims his former assistant jacked over $3.6 million from him between 2004 and 2008. Wow, it is hard to find good help these days, isn't it?

    The assistant reportedly used the funds to buy a half-a-million dollar condo and involved her whole family, including her two children, in the financial scam, giving them credit cards linked to an account with Clayton's money. Yikes.

    What punishment fits this crime, in your opinion?
