$400k for One Year (Fed Prison) Vacation
How to Steal $400K and Lose Your 401K Same Time
Erin Martin, a resident of the quiet town of Tonawanda, New York, was a trusted senior staff accountant reporting directly to her company’s Chief Financial Officer.
Martin orchestrated a two year cunning scheme that would later unravel her career and shock her family. Martin exploited her position overseeing vendor invoice payments and with meticulous precision fabricated 95 fraudulent invoices. Martin funneled a staggering $440,000 of payments directly into her personal bank account.
The stolen funds fueled a lifestyle far beyond her accountant’s salary, all while maintaining the façade of a dedicated employee. In the final courtroom reckoning, Martin was convicted of wire fraud and sentenced to 12 months in federal prison.
