Delaware Woman Sentenced for $600,000+ Embezzlement from Credit Card Payment Processor
A Delaware woman was sentenced to 12 months and one day in prison for embezzling over $600,000 from her employer, a credit card transaction processor.
Lisa Mose, 43, of Bear, Delaware, pleaded guilty to a wire fraud violation in January 2016 and was sentenced by Chief Judge Leonard P. Stark of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.
According to court documents, Mose was a supervisor in the reconciliation and settlements department at the New Castle, Delaware-based credit card transaction processor. She had access to initiate manual wire transfers from her employer’s operating accounts.
Between January 2009 and June 2014, Mose made false entries into the company’s computerized system and initiated at least 325 wire transfers, totaling at least $618,075, to her personal bank accounts and bank accounts of known associates. She used a significant portion of the proceeds to purchase vacations and high-end consumer goods.
U.S. Attorney Charles M. Oberly III commented on the sentence, saying, “Ms. Mose was a trusted supervisor at her place of employment and she systematically, over a period of years, proceeded to steal over $600,000 from her employer. Such a breach of trust cannot go unpunished and a sentence of incarceration is necessary to deter others who might consider stealing from their employers.”
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Lauren Paxton.
Mose was ordered to pay full restitution as part of her sentence. Her prison term began immediately.
