Stacy L. Attisano, 43, of Portersville, Pennsylvania has been indicted on charges alleging she embezzled at least $357,000 from the Lawrence County School Employee Federal Credit Union where she had been employed as an assistant manager. According to authorities, over a six year period, from 2004 through 2010, Attisano made bogus deposits and fraudulent loan payments to skim the funds from the credit union. Meanwhile, Holly M. Cowan, 50, of Ellwood City, pleaded guilty last month to charges she embezzled $223,000 by employing similar schemes. Cowan, the former credit union manager, is believed to have steered about $469,000 to herself. It is unclear whether the two colluded in their schemes. The five felony count indictment includes a tax evasion charge against Attisano.
