Robyn Anne Garver, 39, of Alanson, Michigan, pleaded guilty to one felony count of embezzlement more than $20,000 in a plea deal following her arrest for embezzling more than $100,000 from Windjammer Cove and Marina Development, of Petoskey, Michigan, where she had been employed as a bookkeeper. According to investigators, Garver purchased stamps and phone cards using company checks, selling them on eBay, and shipping them with a company fed-ex account. The scheme lasted five and a half years, from May 2003 to November 2008, according to authorities. She was originally charged last June with 8 felony counts, including criminal enterprise conducting, embezzlement of more than $100,000, two counts of use of a computer to commit a crime and four counts of "uttering and publishing." Garver is due to be sentenced on March 15th, when she faces up to 10 years in prison, plus restitution.Read FraudTalk's original post on this story here.
