The former finance administrator for the ABA’s Information Services department, Karen M Healy, was recently arrested for stealing nearing $1.3 million of cellphones and IPads that she ordered in the name of the ABA. Over a period of 8 years she managed to order 1715 cellphones and 10 IPads, forging the paper work to show that other services had been ordered and then burying the expenses in different accounts.
Fortunately for the ABA, they expect to recover most of the funds through their crime insurance coverage.
