ANCHORAGE, ALASKA – In a stunning revelation of financial chicanery, 23-year-old Shanice Mano was handed a one-year sentence yesterday for swindling over $100,000 from Credit Union 1.
The U.S. Attorney Karen L. Loeffler announced the verdict in federal court, where Chief Judge Timothy M. Burgess presided over the sentencing.
Mano, a former teller at Credit Union 1, was caught red-handed after she accessed a customer’s account without authorization and transferred funds into her control, later withdrawing money from those accounts. Assistant U.S. Attorney Aunnie Steward, who prosecuted the case, pointed out that Mano’s actions were both well-planned and deliberate.
Judge Burgess emphasized that the stolen funds represented years of hard-earned savings for victims, expressing the court’s intent to deter others from engaging in similar crimes.
The FBI played a crucial role in this investigation, successfully recovering $80,000 of the embezzled funds. A restitution order was issued for the remaining amount.
U.S. Attorney Loeffler commended the FBI’s dedication and effectiveness in pursuing this case, highlighting their commitment to justice in Alaska.
