The alleged fraud helped push the $24.5 million credit union into the red to the tune of $540,000 last year, and $620,000 in 2006.

The suit alleges Cynthia Harris created fictitious deposits in the names of her family members, all of whom are named as co-defendants, where the money was later withdrawn.
