California Woman Charged With Embezzling $250K

Sivalatha "Siva" Sadasivam, 40, of Tracy, California has been charged with embezzling some $250,000 worth in gift cards from Lodi-based property management firm, RPM Company. Sadasivam, who was in charge of purchasing gift cards from Safeway Stores for prospective clients, instead kept many for herself. She would then exchange cards for other retail outlets such as Best Buy and Nordstroms and used them to purchase personal luxury items for herself and her husband. The scheme dates back about five years to at least 2004. She has been charged with two felony counts each of embezzlement and grand theft. Sadasivam holds dual citizenship in the US and Malaysia.

Update (3/29/11): Sadasivam, now 42, was sentenced to three years and four months in prison after pleading guilty in this case. Read an update of the story here.

This woman now as of 9/1/2019 is in charge of HR for multiple companies owned by crown nut owner mike sandhu . She has total control and access to multiple employees and customer bank accounts and social security numbers . I believe I worked at one of those companies being used as a shell company . Company names are Arms Pumps Inc , and G&L Irrigation . This should be looked into further .

In 2022, this woman is still trying to whitewash history and hide the truth. She is convicted of fraud. Trying to create fake blogs and websites to obscure the truth that she is a criminal.

Siva is by far one of the most diabolical, two-faced people I've ever had the displeasure of encountering. She parades herself as this demure, sweet woman but quickly exposes herself as the bitchy gremlin she truly is. I wasn't at all surprised to find out she's a criminal.

I worked for her for some time and knew in my heart she was NOT who she presented herself to be to the world. I don't know how she swindled her way into a VP position with G&L/Arms Pumps, but she lacks basic critical thinking skills and most certainly is not anywhere near as educated as she mentions in her many, bizarre online posts which stretch across many platforms.

Believe me when I say: I got to know her, and she's a fraud through and through.

I have reason to believe she is continuing to embezzle from the companies she is working at now. How was she hired to be an accountant/be in charge to manage customer's financial information? It's funny that she has created so many profiles to try and hide her criminal history when you search for her on Google but her criminal past can never be completely gone.
