ALEXANDRIA, Va. NCUA this afternoon barred from credit unions a former teller at Cinco Family Financial Center CU who stole more than $600,000 from the credit union over nine years in bundles of $100s she disguised by stuffing the middle with $1s.
Linda Fite, 61, was sentenced earlier this year to two-and-a-half years in prison for the cash thefts from the Cincinnati credit union, which prosecutors referred to as “C-Note Sandwiches”. They said she stole $100 bills from the middle of the bundles and replaced them in the cash vault with $1 bills. But she left $100 bills on the top and bottom, making it look like all of the bills in the bundles were $100s.
NCUA also banned Patricia Piscioneri, a 67-year-old former president of Adams Municipal FCU for looting the tiny $1 million credit union, located in Adams, Mass., City Hall, of more than $160,000.
