Grimy Times: Eunice Ting, 69, Pleads Guilty to Making False Statements in New York

ALBANY, NEW YORK - In a shocking case of deception, 69-year-old Eunice Ting of Watervliet, New York, has pleaded guilty to making false statements to obtain benefits from the United States Department of Labor, Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs.

Ting, a resident of Watervliet, submitted hundreds of materially false and fraudulent forms to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Worker’s Compensation Programs seeking reimbursement for travel in which she did not engage. Specifically, she falsely claimed workers compensation benefits for medically-related travel to and from a local YMCA for purported “aquatic therapy” when she had not received any such therapy and did not travel to the YMCA as claimed.

In total, Ting received a total of $26,983 from the Department of Labor because of her fraudulent submissions. This case is a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of white-collar crimes and the importance of accountability.

Ting is scheduled to be sentenced on August 24, 2023 by Senior United States District Judge Frederick J. Scullin, Jr. in Albany, New York. Ting faces a maximum term of imprisonment of five years, a fine of up to $250,000, and a term of supervised release of up to three years. As part of her plea agreement, Ting has also agreed to pay full restitution.

USPS-OIG and Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander Wentworth-Ping are credited with bringing this case to justice. The sentencing hearing is expected to be a significant milestone in this case, and the Grimy Times will provide updates as more information becomes available.

The investigation and prosecution of Ting’s case serves as a warning to those who would engage in similar activities. The consequences of white-collar crimes can be severe, and those who commit these crimes will be held accountable.

In related news, the Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and provide updates on the sentencing hearing. Stay tuned for more information on this developing story.
