In a brazen scheme, a former U.S. Postal Service mail carrier, Francina Sutton, allegedly conspired with two corrupt colleagues to steal dozens of checks, credit cards, and gift cards from the mail. The haul included a $4.9 million U.S. Treasury check.
But that was just the beginning. Sutton, a convicted felon, teamed up with a former assistant bank manager to launder the stolen check, passing it off as legitimate.
U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg vowed to crack down on corrupt postal workers and financial insiders who exploit their positions for personal gain.
The investigation, a joint effort between the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, and the IRS-CI, exposed the scheme and brought the culprits to justice.
