Indian American Assistant US Attorney Deepika Bains Shuklan prosecuted a Windsor, Connecticut, woman for stealing $250,000 from her employer. Angela M. Craig, 55, pleaded guilty to wire fraud and will be sentenced on June 22 by US District Court Judge Mark G. Mastroianni.
According to the details of the case provided by the Department of Justice on Thursday, “From July 2012 through May 2014, Craig stole more than $250,000 from her Massachusetts employer by writing company checks to herself, forging her employer’s signature and then cashing or depositing the checks. Craig concealed her theft by entering false invoices in her employer’s accounting system and by failing to pay company bills and taxes.”
Wire frauds are punishable to a maximum of 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $25,000. Though, generally, judges avoid to announce maximum penalties.
