just read about this wild case where a bank employee literally stole $280k from her own employer. jennifer lamanna worked at an FDIC-insured bank in florida and basically walked into the vault, grabbed cash, and moved it to her own account. the crazy part? she tried to hide it by creating fake transactions and filing false reports to make it look legit. when investigators caught up with her in 2023, she straight up lied to FinCEN about a $160k deposit that never even happened. prosecutors proved she knew exactly what she was doing.

anyway, jennifer lamanna got 15 months in federal prison for it. judge kathryn kimball mizelle handed down the sentence after she pleaded guilty. this isn't even an isolated thing either - around the same time, an ex-PNC teller named rhodesia jones got caught embezzling $80k from customer accounts. makes you wonder how many people working inside banks are just... doing this? the fact that jennifer lamanna thought she could get away with it is kind of insane tbh
