Antoinette Myszkowski, 50, who worked for the credit union for 20 years, was charged with 24 felony counts of forgery.

The scheme was uncovered in August 2007 when Myszkowski paid off her personal Visa bill of $3,000 by withdrawing funds from another member’s account. The credit union conducted an internal audit afterwards and discovered the rest of the missing funds.
