A 56-year-old Berlin, Maryland, resident, who was a former office manager and bookkeeper for an Ocean City-based home builder, admitted to embezzling at least $1,790,000 from her former employer. She forged a business owner’s signature on business checks at least 500 times. She then concealed the embezzlement from her employer and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by making false entries into the business’ books and records. Source: US Attorney District of Maryland
