The woman, 61, had been working for the VFW between January 2022 and June 2024 when she used her access to their bank accounts to transfer the money and created falsified documents and bank records to cover it up.
Investigators said the woman used the funds to buy “hundreds of crystals, semi-precious rocks, marbles, stones and statues. She also used the funds for personal expenses including credit card payments and purchasing a vehicle for a family member.”
The woman was charged by criminal information with wire fraud on March 24 and pleaded guilty on Tuesday, April 15. She has also agreed to pay restitution in full to the VFW and forfeit any proceeds and property obtained through her crimes.
The woman faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Oregon. Her sentencing is scheduled for July 8.
