Former employees from various organizations, including Katy Area EDC and NYU, have been sentenced to prison or probation for embezzling large sums of money. Cindy Tappe, a former NYU finance director, stole $3.5 million to fund home renovations. Another individual embezzled $280K from a non-profit, while a rogue trader builder in Wiltshire left victims out of pocket. An East Texas contractor is also in jail for scamming customers.
