Stantisha D. Kemp, an accounting manager, was sentenced to two years in prison Wednesday for embezzling over $1.2 million from her employer over a six-year period.
Following her sentence, Kemp is required to serve three years of supervised release and pay restitution of $1.25 million.
“Hopefully this sentencing makes a statement that the FBI is committed to making cases like this a strong deterrent to the temptation of greed,” said Ricardo Grave de Peralta, Acting Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. “Kemp not only defrauded the company she worked for, she also violated the trust they put in her.”
Brazen Professional Misconduct
According to the court case, from 2007 to 2013, Kemp served as the payroll and accounting manager for an Atlanta-based company focused on the development of medical technology. During this period, she embezzled money by systematically falsifying payroll records.
Kemp was successful in her illegal endeavor utilizing a third-party payroll processing company. Kemp falsely told the company that a doctor with the initials Y.H.J. was a company employee.
