Yes, two dads from from ny. Complicated scheme promising to sell tickets to big events (Hamilton, etc), but instead embezzled the money. Also an acquaintance’s husband went to jail for a fraudulent business in Connecticut. I know fewer details on that one.

A high school friend that embezzled her employer. No time served. Restitution of $30 a week due to limited employment opportunities.

The brother of a high school friend that embezzled from a government agency. 6 weekends at the county jail and restitution with similar terms as above . Her husband was a well respected political advisor and musician.

My neighbors daughters husband who defrauded a bank with his girlfriend who then died in an unfortunate skiing accident. 5 years for the fraud.

HS friend: medical billing fraud--he made tons of money, high level salesman for many years until caught in his 40s. Went to federal prison for a few years, not sure how it was for him after that. I had not seen him in 20 years when i heard about it. Not surprising as he was someone basically dishonest and shady.

I have a cousin who went to prison for something like embezzlement. It was minimum security, not for very long. Great way to catch up on your reading and get into shape!

My FIL. Worked at a credit union as the president. Something happened with dummy accounts for high dollar clients. The disputed amount was like $1M (not embezzled, just not collected by the CU) and he got a 3 year sentence at a minimum security federal facility, along with the former president and the client involved.

He died of cancer after serving about a year

It was a big fat ugly mess and we stayed out of it as much as possible because my husband is a DOJ contractor.

Tell us more.
Doctors seems to be the biggest crooks!

Not doctors. Home health care agency. Now that I think of it, might be Medicare and/or Medicaid fraud. Biling for things they didn’t do because the crooked doctors certified relatively healthy people for home health care.

Husband of a friend was charged with fraud. He payed employees under the table for years and they finally caught up with him. Because of his age he just had to be under house arrest for a year and a half nothing else in their life changed although I’m sure they had the money to pay off the fines.

Who knows what's a crime and what's a fine. Me working as an illegal immigrant, is that a crime? The guy not paying any of us, not even the legals ones, the minimum required, crime or fine? He got none of it. As long as it is not taxes and a lot of taxes, and it's all good.

Friend of a high school friend was convinced of some kind of high financial fraud. I don’t really know the details though.
