HOUSTON — A Baytown woman is going to prison for embezzling millions of dollars from her employer.
Judy M. Green was sentenced to two years in federal prison for wire fraud.
Green pleaded guilty to embezzling over $3.4 million over a decade, according to U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani.
Green worked as an account manager for a Houston-based building and maintenance supply company. Because of her theft, the company was forced to lay off workers and wasn't able to give bonuses to the remaining employees, the USAO said.
Green submitted fake invoices to the company and pocketed the money. One of the owners noticed a large payment to an unknown credit card company in 2022. An audit revealed the fraud had been going on since 2012.
As part of her sentence, the judge ordered her to repay all of the money.
