The National Credit Union Administration has barred three more former credit union employees from participating in the affairs of any federally insured depository institution.
One is Susan Romero, a former employee of the $18 million-asset Winslow Santa Fe Credit Union in Winslow, Arizona, who the NCUA claims misappropriated member funds totaling approximately $2.2 million from the credit union through various means, including unauthorized cash withdrawals, credit union checks with forged signatures and transfers to accounts associated with members of her family.
Another is Diamond Hamilton, a former employee of the $15.3 billion-asset Suncoast Credit Union in Tampa, Florida, who was sentenced in U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida, on charges of bank fraud and aggravated identity theft in connection with her employment at the credit union.
The third is Vanessa Fletcher, a former employee of the $10.9 billion-asset Alaska USA Federal Credit Union in Anchorage, Alaska. The NCUA claims Fletcher used a credit union member’s debit card without authorization to make four purchases totaling $181.69.
With this month’s new orders, the NCUA has now issued nine prohibition orders for 2022.
