The National Credit Union Administration today issued two prohibition orders, banning a pair of former credit union employees from participating in the affairs of any federally insured financial institution.
Mireya Guadalupe Gonzalez, a former employee of Sharebuilders Federal Credit Union in Northridge, Calif., pleaded guilty to the charges of embezzlement and aiding and abetting. Gonzalez was sentenced to 18 months in jail, five years supervised probation and ordered to pay more than $868,000 in restitution.
James Scalzo, a former employee at Consumers Cooperative Credit Union in Gurnee, Ill., pleaded guilty to bank fraud and money laundering, netting a sentence of two years and nine months in jail, as well as three years of supervised probation and restitution payments.
Violation of a prohibition order is a felony offense punishable by prison time and fines of up to $1 million.
