Windsor Woman Sentenced for Embezzlement

SPRINGFIELD, MA — A Windsor woman was sentenced Tuesday in federal court for stealing over $250,000 from her employer, according to acting United States Attorney William D. Weinreb and Harold H. Shaw, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Field Division.

Angela M. Craig, 55, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Mark G. Mastroianni to 21 months in prison, three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay approximately $254,000 in restitution, after pleading guilty to one count of wire fraud in March 2017, Weinreb said.

From July 2012 through May 2014, Craig stole more than $250,000 from her Massachusetts employer by writing company checks to herself, forging her employer’s signature and then cashing or depositing the checks. Craig concealed her theft by entering false invoices in her employer’s accounting system and by failing to pay company bills and taxes, Weinreb said.
