HOA Treasurer Pleads Guilty

I’ve blogged about this lady before. She embezzled about 43,000 bucks from her HOA in Forsyth, Georgia. You’d think those southern folks would look down on somebody looting the neighborhood treasury. Well, it looks like she got 2 or 3 months detention. Oh yes, and she has to pay about $3300 in restitution. The jail sentence is probably light because she’s apparently repaid about $32,000.

Embezzling from Homeowners Associations continues to be one of the massive unreported crimes in America. At least this one got caught.
