Some of this happened when Pat Cannon was President, I believe.

Brunswick woman sentenced for embezzlement

 

November 1, 2010

 

GREENBELT, Md. - A Brunswick, Md., woman was sentenced Monday to 2 1/2 years
in prison for embezzling $777,249 while she worked for a Bethesda-based
organization

that works to advance state vocational training programs, according to U.S.
Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein.

 

Kymberli Rand, 41, also was placed on three years of supervised release for
wire fraud and ordered by U.S. District Judge Deborah K. Chasanow to forfeit

all the proceeds of her 401(k), Rosenstein said in a news release.

 

Beginning in 2002, Rand was an administrative assistant for the Council of
State Administrators of Vocational Rehabilitation, where he was responsible
for

bookkeeping and finances, Rosenstein said.

 

The organization had a $1 million budget, which was supported by membership
dues from various state agencies dedicated to providing vocational training,

according to Rosenstein's office.

 

In April 2010, officials with the organization discovered that from at least
2003 through February 2010, Rand embezzled $777,249, Rosenstein said.

 

Rosenstein said Rand used the money to pay an American Express bill, among
other things. Rand also had $3,430 in personal expenses on her
organization-issued

American Express card and used group funds to pay those expenses, Rosenstein
said.

 

Rand also issued checks to herself from the organization's bank accounts,
Rosenstein said.

 

Rosenstein said Rand concealed the theft in a myriad of ways, including
failing to credit the 401(k) accounts of some organization employees and
using the

funds to replace a portion of the money she embezzled.

 

Rand also forged an audit report for the tax year 2007 and presented the
report to the organization's chief executive officer, Rosenstein said.

 

In addition, Rand created a fraudulent report showing that one of the
accounts controlled by group had a balance of $106,655 when the balance in
the account

was actually $10,719, Rosenstein said.
