Baytown Woman’s Decade-Long Embezzlement Scheme Exposed
HOUSTON – In a shocking revelation, 54-year-old Judy M. Green has pleaded guilty to wire fraud, announced U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani. The Baytown woman’s brazen scheme involved embezzling over $3 million from her employer for approximately 10 years.
Green worked as an account manager for a Houston-based building and maintenance supply company. As part of the scheme, she submitted fraudulent invoices to induce payment from the company and pocketed the funds for personal expenses. This audacious act of deceit ultimately came to light in the summer of 2022 when one of the business owners noticed a large payment to an unknown credit card company.
Further investigation by the FBI revealed the scope of the fraud, which had been ongoing since 2012. The embezzled funds were used for Green’s personal expenses, a clear indication of her blatant disregard for the law and her employer’s trust.
U.S. District Judge Alfred Bennett accepted the plea and set sentencing for Aug. 3. At that time, Green faces up to 20 years in federal prison as well as a possible $250,000 maximum fine.
The FBI conducted the investigation, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Carter prosecuting the case. Green was permitted to remain on bond pending sentencing.
As the case comes to a close, it serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of embezzlement. The public’s trust is severely compromised when individuals in positions of power abuse their authority for personal gain.
