Troy W. Posten, 42, of Crocker, Missouri, was sentenced to 40 months in federal prison for embezzling $451,763.46 from the Bank of Crocker where he had been employed as a loan officer. According to authorities, over a period of 4 years, from May 2004 until May 2008, Posten fraudulently obtained loans, lines of credit, and funds from bank customers’ accounts without their knowledge or approval.

Posten, who is reportedly a former Richland school board member, has also been barred from working in the financial services industry.
