WICHITA, Kan. A former employee of Enterprise CU on Tuesday was sentenced to two years of probation for embezzling $85,000 through a check kiting scheme.
Deborah Bomia, 46, kited checks between accounts in her name at the credit union, creating false and fictitious balances. She pleaded guilty to one count of embezzlement.
The embezzlement involved making a large deposit toward the end of the month, which would be included in the general ledger, but the actual deposit would not be sent to the corporate checking account until around the middle of the next month. At the same time, another larger check would be drafted out of Bomia’s credit union checking account. The final deposit to the general ledger was recorded July 29, 2011, in the amount of $85,000. The money was never deposited to the credit union’s corporate account.
Bomia was ordered to pay $85,000 restitution.
