An Home Depot 'vault associate' has been arrested for allegedly swapping out nearly $400,000 of the store's real money for the last four years with counterfeit cash he bought off Amazon. Adrian Jean Pineda secretly siphoned $387,500 handed to him from the store's registers in Tempe and replaced it with the phony currency commonly used in movies and clearly marked as fake, Secret Service agents said after his arrest last Monday.Pineda was able to pull off the brazen heist thanks to his job as a 'vault associate' at the home appliance store, a position that called for the staffer to collect the store's daily earnings and deposit them at a nearby Wells Fargo bank, according to the feds.
