I am a Financial Advisor, and I worked in an office with other Financial Advisors. A year and a half ago a 56 year old coworker got arrested for stealing $4.6 million. She stole from her elderly clients that she met by herself by having they write checks to her business checking account. Then she would transfer the money to her personal account and then spend it. This was going on for 12 years (I worked with her for 10) and by the end she was just stealing to pay other victims back. When she was 1st arrested she wrote letters and talked on the phone (which was listen to by the police) blaming another one of my coworkers saying he was the ringleader. They interviewed him and found nothing. The DA even told the victims she did this all by herself. She also stated that I once forged a receipt for one of the victims. Luckily it was handwritten and once I submitted my handwriting they asked if I would like to press charges against her. I didn't because that seemed like small potatoes and I didn't want my name anywhere near this case.
During this time she got looked into by the State Commissioner of Insurance and Plead the 5th. The handed down a $1.5 fine which she did not fight.
She plead "Not Guilty" and was released on bond. At the pre trail she was offered a Plea Deal of 15-20 years. She declined it and we are now going to trail. I was subpoenaed by the State as a witness. The Defense attorney did not subpoena anyone and to my knowledge didn't even interview anyone. I have nothing to hide however I am concerned that she could try and blame me and then that would be written in the newspaper. Why would she take this to trail?
