Lisa Mose, 43, of Bear, was sentenced last week by Leonard P. Stark, chief judge of the United States District Judge for the District of Delaware, to a year and a day in prison, on a charge related to the theft of $618,000 from a credit card bank.
Mose pleaded guilty to a wire fraud violation in January. The sentence includes restitution.
According to statements on the record and court documents Mose was a supervisor within the reconciliation and settlements department of a credit card processor.
She had access to initiate manual wire transfers from her employer’s operating accounts. From January 2009 through June 2014, Mose made false entries into the company’s computerized system and initiated at least 325 wire transfers, totaling at least $618,075, to her personal bank accounts and bank accounts of known associates.
Mose used a significant portion of the proceeds to purchase vacations and high-end consumer goods, prosecutors stated.
U.S. Attorney Charles Oberly stated, “Ms. Mose was a trusted supervisor at her place of employment and had systematically, over a period of years, proceeded to steal over $600,000 from her employer. Such a breach of trust cannot go unpunished and a sentence of incarceration is necessary to deter others who might consider stealing from their employers.”
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Lauren Paxton.
