Melissa Bosek-Jordan, 32, of Grand Blanc, Michigan, was charged with 17 state felony counts today alleging that she embezzled some $2.2 million from her employer, Bell Title Company. Specifically, the charges include one count of racketeering, eight counts of embezzlement, four counts of using a computer to commit a crime and four counts of "uttering and publishing." Bosek's license has been revoked by the state and she has also been sued in civil court as a result of her alleged fraud. In the civil case, a judgment has been entered against her in the amount of $2.1 million. According to state investigators, Bosek transferred $400,000 from company accounts to those that she controlled. When confronted by the owners, she claimed to have wired the money back. Instead, according to investigators, Bosek stole company checks and took additional funds, totalling more than $2 million. She ran her own title company, Michigan Title, which she sold to Bell Title thereby becoming an employee. She faces 70 years in prison if convicted on all counts. She has until tomorrow to turn herself into authorities or she will be arrested.
