Resume: Yesterday afternoon, Ms. Karen C. Hunt responded to Troop 2 with her attorney to answer to charges of felony Theft and six felony counts of Falsifying Business Records.
This investigation was brought to the attention of detectives after a representative from the victim business in question, Aquilla of Delaware, went to Troop 6 on April 12th to file a theft report.
The business representative advised a recent audit showed a long standing series of internal thefts in which Billing Manager Karen Hunt had intercepted payments to the business and deposited them into her own bank account.
A more extensive audit was completed showing a total loss to the business over the five year period exceeded $296,000.
Ms. Hunt was arraigned on the aforementioned charges and released on a $1,600.00 unsecured bond.
She obviously didn't spend it on plastic surgery.
ReplyDeleteWhat are these people thinking?!
ReplyDeleteDo they really think they'll never get caught?
Also, why aren't businesses and non-profits keeping a better eye on their own books - why let it get this far before something is noticed!?
nearly 300,000 dollars, and she gets released on 1,600 dollars? i bet she may have a few of those laying around somewhere...
