Florida Law Firm Office Manager Charged In $1.67 Million Theft
Angela Marie Dees, 33, of Punta Gorda, Florida, was arrested yesterday and charged with stealing some $1.67 million from the now defunct law firm of Moore and Waksler. Dees was charged with 259 felony counts in connection with the alleged theft - specifically, 129 counts of grand theft, 114 counts of wire fraud and 16 counts of writing forged checks, and two misdemeanor counts of petty theft. The embezzlement occurred since 2002 when she was hired by the law firm whereby Dees would deposit firm checks or wire transfer company funds into her own personal accounts.
