Former Cape Bookkeeper Indicted In $1M+ Embezzlement Scheme: Feds

CENTERVILLE, MA — A Centerville woman was indicted on federal charges of wire fraud and filing false federal tax returns. Jessica Greenan, 42, of Centerville, faces five counts of each stemming from her embezzlement of more than $1 million from a bookkeeping client, according to the U.S. Attorney's office.

Greenan, formerly an employee of a Cape Cod-based bookkeeping service, wired funds 536 times from the store's operating bank account to pay her credit cards at Capital One, Citibank, American Express and Bank of America, federal authorities said. She embezzled $1,135,460 from a client in Hyannis from October 2014 until she was fired in March 2018, according to the USAO.

Authorities said Greenan doctored the company bank statements and internal records to make the credit card payments appear as legitimate expenses. In failing to report any of her illegal income over the five years she embezzled money, she more than $325,000 in federal taxes, the USAO said.
