San Antonio Woman Sentenced to 57 Months in Prison for Bank Fraud and Identity Theft Scheme
A San Antonio woman has been sentenced to federal prison for her role in a bank fraud and identity theft scheme that netted over $1 million, the Grimy Times has learned.
Sandra Sanchez Gonzalez, 50, was sentenced to 57 months in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release and ordered to pay $1,074,096.36 in restitution for her role in the scheme announced United States Attorney Robert Pitman.
The scheme, which occurred from September 2006 until July 2011, involved Gonzalez stealing money from her employer, Allegro, LTD., by forging the owner’s signature on company checks and fraudulently obtaining credit cards under the company name to pay for personal expenses.
Gonzalez also admitted to stealing company funds by creating fictitious company pay stubs that incorrectly reflected that her son was employed by Allegro.
The investigation was conducted by agents with the U.S. Secret Service, and Assistant United States Attorney Tom Moore prosecuted the case on behalf of the Government.
Gonzalez pleaded guilty to one count of bank fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft on August 1, 2013.
The case highlights the ongoing threat of financial crimes and identity theft, and serves as a reminder to businesses and individuals to be vigilant in protecting their assets and personal information.
