A case of embezzlement in Vermont

From the Bennington, VT Bennington Banner:
Arlington woman charged in wire fraud
An East Arlington woman has reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors on charges of wire fraud and filing a false tax return.

Denise M. Hall, 51, of East Arlington, was charged with one count of wire fraud and one count of filing a false tax return, after taking between $120,000 and $200,000 from her employer, Rosemary Altea of Dorset, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Darrow.

Hall was employed by Altea, a nationally known self-proclaimed psychic and "spiritual medium" who has appeared on "Oprah" and "Larry King Live," between 2001 and 2008 as an office manager and bookkeeper.
Geee, now if only there was some way that Ms. Altea could have found out earlier... Posted by DaveH at June 13, 2009 8:39 AM

Being psychic doesn't work that way. That's why you never see psychics winning lotto. It's also strange how other thefts in Rosemary Altea's home were not investigated since being reported back in November. I wonder if Denise Hall's husband being a police officer had anything to do with it.
