Two Women Accused of Stealing NY Education Funds | New York City News
Description
Two major indictments hit New York’s education funding system this week, exposing elaborate fraud schemes that stole nearly a million dollars. In one case, a John Jay College accounts payable manager allegedly forged 260 fake stipend checks totaling $710K using real students’ info and cashed them via ATMs. In another, two women allegedly diverted $289K meant for Harlem’s Promise Academy by creating a fake Idaho company to siphon funds into a secret bank account. DA Alvin Bragg and Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli both made it clear: stealing from public programs is stealing from all 20 million New Yorkers—and they’re determined to hold perpetrators accountable.
