It's officially called 'shrinkage' --- 'stealing' is such a
pejorative term and might cause offence --- and official
estimates put it as high as 20% of the total turnover in some
businesses.

Big Billy Gates works on the philosophy that if he says something
often enough, most people will accept it as true, either for now
or for the future.

You could say he has the power to make his prophecies
self-fullfilling.
