conferences.

>>
>>
>>
>> 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.
