Wichita woman admits defrauding employer of $3.1 million

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Federal prosecutors say a 77-year-old Wichita woman has admitted to embezzling about $3.1 million from her employer. The U.S. Attorney’s office in Kansas said in a news release Thursday that Nancy Martin pleaded guilty to bank fraud and filing a false tax document. Martin was bookkeeper, business manager, and chief operating officer of two companies, Mid-Kansas Wound Specialists and Emergency Services. An audit found she fraudulently obtained about $3.1 from her employers’ banks and used the money for personal expenses, travel and investments. She also admitted filing false tax returns from 2013 to 2016. She is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 17.
