A Las Vegas woman swindled her boss out of $26 million, using the cash to buy high-end merchandise and pay off her living expenses.
Cynthia Marie Marabella, a former controller at a Las Vegas construction company, conspired with her boyfriend to forge bonus checks, create fake bank statements, and send phony invoices.
The pair used the stolen funds to buy luxury goods, including designer purses, shoes, and jewelry. They sold some of the items online and made over $245,000 in the process.
Marabella pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of monetary transactions in criminally derived property. She faces up to 30 years in prison and is set to be sentenced on August 4.
