Ex-bank employee caught in fraud
June 5, 2009
Total Loss:
$130,000
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Gretchen Wylegala, Janei London Walker was employed at KeyBank in 2005, when she engaged in a scheme to defraud the bank, by setting up a fake account, into which money from other customers was deposited. Over $109,000 was taken from ATM machines over several months in 2005 and 2006.
Walker then went to work at HSBC, where she admitted withdrawing $21,000 from a dormant CD belonging to a recently deceased customer. In both cases, the banks, not the customers, suffered the losses.
