Bookkeeper embezzles $800k from vet organization
Chief Tango sends a link from NBC News about Cynthia Tanner, a bookkeeper for the National Veteran Services Fund who over five years’ time stole $830,000 from them in addition to another $185k in checks that she wrote to friends and family. Meanwhile, the judge set her bond at $500,000 – surely she can afford that.
Tanner had worked for the National Veteran Services Fund since 2008 and was responsible for payroll and disbursing funds to the charity’s clients, according to police.
The fund, based in Darien, accepts donations to help veterans and their families across the country and used the money to pay for wheelchairs, scooters and ramps for veterans.
They have also paid utility bills for veterans and their families in danger of homelessness, as well as provided temporary housing.
The fund has also provided veterans with snow tires, dentures and a veterinary bill for a veteran’s companion animal.
Police said Tanner is accused of writing checks from the fund to pay herself money she was not entitled to, as well as checks to relatives.

Got nothing I can even type here without my internal censoring bleeping it out….hope she rots in prison.
Yeah that.
Why didn’t she use some of that money for some lipo, a face lift and a make over? Ugly, ugly…ugly!
All-Points Logistics future bookkeeper.
She is going to that special hell. Reserved for Child Molesters and people who talk in the Theater.
Quite the looker!
I’ve seen better heads on a zit.
That could be what Phildo looks like after gender reassignment surgery.
OOOH, gimme brain bleach, 5 GALLONS OF BRAIN BEACH, PRONTO, *AAAAUUUUUUGGGHHHH!*…
It only took them five years to figure it out. Speaks volumes about their internal controls and audit procedures. Unlike the Wounded Warrior Project where the crooks are those knocking down the $300,000+ annual salary plus bennies.
The sad thing is that the way this charity operates helped this cow hide her theft. She simply fabricated the ledger as she cut the checks to herself, putting down that they were the usual kinds of disbursements this charity makes to veterans.
That said, Charity Navigator does not rate this charity highly at all:

You do not even have to be wounded to join WWP.
You could have never served in the military and have been in a gang fight and you could probably get membership.
Crooks is right.
They sent out some email the other day claiming that they had achieved over 50k members.
I asked how many were wounded.
Crickets.
That’s about $150,000 a year to keep this “eye candy” in the office…..
*yawn*! Muhbe she need a tour of major truckstops working the backrow?
“She” looks like at least an eighth or ninth grade “Lot Lizard” at some roach-infested grease pit of a truck stop in the foulest armpit of New jersey!!
I wonder, would she be allowed to Man Love Thursdays with those looks?
