Two California woman, including Joann Seeney, aka JoAnn Dearman, 60, of Pacifica, California and a second, unnamed individual have been accused of embezzling more than $635,000 from the San Mateo County Vector Control District where Seeney had been employed as district finance manager. Both have been terminated and the former, Seeney, is currently serving a 32 month sentence for a separate embezzlement case involving the theft of some $568,000 in fraudulent credit card charges from a private medical imaging company in Foster City, California, to finance a lavish lifestyle. Authorities believe the misappropriations from the Vector Control District principally ocurred between 2010 and 2011. Seeney was also accused of embezzling about $50,000 from yet another company. Apparently criminal background checks were never conducted on Seeney.
