Oy Vey!   It's Bernie Fraudberg on the loose!

A clerk caught embezzling!

Two embezzled $500K from Jewish center

Guilty pleas show former CFO and clerk both embezzling, separately, at same time 

 
— Two longtime employees of the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center in La Jolla embezzled a total of more than $500,000 in separate schemes, using the nonprofit’s funds for everything from designer shoes and lavish trips to lingerie and sushi, according to plea agreements entered in San Diego federal court Thursday.
Prosecutors said Nancy Johnson, 59, who oversaw the center’s $13 million annual budget as the chief financial officer, and Tamara Azizov, 62, the center’s former accounts payable clerk, worked alongside each another for several years, but neither knew the other was also embezzling money from the nonprofit.
The center, founded in 1945, operates a preschool, center for senior citizens and many other cultural and educational programs.

Bay County woman pleads guilty to embezzling thousands from area football league

 

BAY CITY, MI — A Bay County woman has pleaded guilty to embezzling thousands from a local football league, but may avoid imprisonment if she repays the amount she stole.


Robbyn A. Navarro, 47, on Wednesday, May 27, appeared in Bay County Circuit Court and pleaded guilty to one count of embezzlement of $1,000 to $2,000 from a nonprofit or charity. 

The charge is a five-year felony. No other charges were dismissed.


Navarro's trial was to begin the day she entered her plea.


Court records indicate the prosecution is recommending Navarro receive a one-year delayed sentence, during which she'd effectively be on probation. If she repays her restitution debt in that span, she'll be allowed to withdraw her plea and instead plead guilty to a reduced misdemeanor charge of embezzlement by an agent or trustee between $200 and $1,000.

Oklahoma Senator Steps Down From Leadership Positions Amid Embezzlement Probe 

The Owasso Republican is at the center of an investigation by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation that $1 million in Better Business Bureau funds were misappropriated during Brinkley’s 15 years leading the nonprofit’s Tulsa chapter.

The Oklahoman’s Rick Green reports the BBB’s board of directors fired Brinkley April 26:

The company sued him Friday in Tulsa County District Court, seeking actual and punitive damages for his “repugnant” conduct. The lawsuit alleges he embezzled funds to support “a hidden gambling habit.”

The nonprofit organization wants a judge to block him from transferring assets until he can be forced to return any misappropriated funds.

No criminal charges have been filed, and although he has resigned from his chairmanships, Brinkley has not stepped down from his position as a senator.
The Tulsa World’s Randy Krehbiel reports the BBB’s lawsuit in Tulsa County District Court alleges Brinkley used embezzled funds to pay his mortgage, credit card debt, and other expenses incurred by a hidden gambling habit. He also set up
