Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Barbara Furlow Smiles Wikipedia stole embezzled $4M from META FACEBOOK.
She’d submit the charges as false expense reports, then have the “vendors” give her the money in cash or by transferring funds to her husband’s account.
“Associates paid cash kickbacks in person and by Federal Express or mail, sometimes wrapping the cash in other items, such as T-shirts,” the attorneys said in their press release.
“In these reports, she falsely claimed that her associates or their businesses provided goods and services to Facebook for various programs and events, when in fact they had not,” prosecutors said.
Among those involved in her scheme were relatives, friends, former interns from a previous job, “nannies and babysitters,” a hair stylist, and her college tutor, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said in court documents that Furlow-Smiles used her position at Facebook to bring in vendors who were owned by friends and associates. Once Facebook signed off to onboarding them, Furlow-Smiles would inflate the expense reports to make extra money she had the vendors send back to her, prosecutors said.
