A former accountant for Munson Healthcare, based in Traverse City, Mich., has been charged for embezzling $1.1 million from the hospital system and hiding it in phony bank accounts, according to a Chicago Tribune report.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office claims Susan J. Morrison stole the money between Oct. 2007 and April 2011. She allegedly transferred the funds from Munson bank accounts to her own at Traverse City State Bank and created false recipient accounts to conceal the alleged theft.
Ms. Morrison has been charged with wire fraud and money laundering. Prosecutors seek to seize bank accounts and sports trading cards from Morrison as restitution, according to the report.
