Mary Lee Flohe, 69, of Elmwood Township, Michigan, has been charged with embezzling some $140,000 from the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a non-profit that serves the poor, where she had served as president. Authorities allege that over at least a five year period, from 2005 to 2010, Flohe "used charity funds to pay personal bills, gave herself a $10,000 retirement bonus and cut thousands of dollars in checks to family and friends." The scheme, in which Flohe wrote numerous checks for her own benefit, came to a head in June 2011, when an investigation was announced.
