I think that Ms. Goulding should have to submit a message of apology to her former employor (publicly) .... those who desire to become professionals are often saddled with tremendous bills and overhead especially when starting out. The money belonged to her boss and was not there for Goulding's benefit. I can only imagine how betrayed she must feel.
