Woman Admits To Defrauding Cincinnati Credit Union

A Cincinnati woman pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court to defrauding her employer for nearly seven years. Ann Bryson admitted to one count of bank embezzlement, after investigators said she wrote checks and money orders from the Good Samaritan Employees Credit Union, where she worked from 1998 to 2005.
The 63-year-old Bryson used that stolen $245,432.66 to pay for personal expenses, investigators said.
Bryson admitted to using several methods to manipulate records in the credit union's ledgers to evade detection.
She faces up to 30 years in prison and $1 million in fines when she is sentenced July 1.
