Two former credit union employees who pleaded guilty to six-figure fraud schemes were banned from federally-insured financial institutions by the NCUA.
In a Thursday release, the NCUA issued a prohibition order to Tracy Kemper, who worked at the $7 million Clara Barton FCU in Washington.
Kemper pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bank fraud and was sentenced to 18 months in prison and five years supervised release, and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $497,150.
Kemper was referenced in a January 2013 prohibition order that banned fellow Clara Barton FCU employee Tiffany Samuels, who pleaded guilty to the same charge and received a similar sentence.
Clara Barton merged into the $18 billion Pentagon Federal Credit Union in November 2008.
The NCUA also banned Karolyn Stattelman, a former employee of $1.5 million Jayhawk Federal Credit Union in Lawrence, Kan.
Stattelman pleaded guilty to the charge of embezzlement in November 2014. She was sentenced to time served, received three years of probation and was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $173,682.
Stattelman admitted embezzling $93,500 and concealing it by manipulating credit union accounts for money orders, share drafts, ATM transactions and returned checks.
She also admitted to allowing a teller to steal $81,000 from the credit union.
Jayhawk FCU was merged into the $244 million Mid American Credit Union in Wichita, Kan.
