That new math

Apparently the Hutt does addition differently than we do. 

We've had another issue regarding money. The whole story is long and confusing - too long and confusing to get into here. The important part is the math. 

Some months ago we were given a sum of money to fund a program series. After some initial purchases we were told by the Hutt that we had $38 dollars left for incidentals. In the last few months we've spent about $9.50 of that money. Today we requested more money. 

The Hutt told us the fund was gone. 

"How is that possible," we asked. "We've only spent around $10 dollars. We should have plenty left and there is still stuff that we need." 

"No," said the Hutt. "That money is long gone." 

And no matter what questions we asked, trying to figure out what happened to the other $28 the Hutt would only say "That money is long gone."

What does that mean for our program? Honestly, we don't know. Some money was found for a temporary fix but that can't last. And we are mystified how that remaining fund, which was supposed to be carefully tracked to each purchase was accounted for, could be drained without our knowledge.

It just doesn't add up
