Armine Sabatini, 45, of Mashpee, Massachusetts, has been charged with embezzling some $145,000 from the Woods Hole, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket Steamship Authority, for which she had been employed as a bookkeeper. Prosecutors allege that Sabatini's thefts span an 8 year period from 2001 to 2009. She reportedly misappropriated funds that were intended to be returned to customers' credit cards who had pre-paid for tickets that went unused. Instead, Sabatini allegedly credited her own credit cards, including her husband's, Richard Sabatini. He has not yet been charged in the scheme.
