NCUA Bans Two Former Credit Union Employees
James Roy Entzminger sentenced to 15 months and ordered to pay $621,937 in restitution.
The National Credit Union Administration said Friday it banned two former credit union employees from participating in the affairs of any federally insured financial institution.
James Roy Entzminger, a former teller of the $60 million Banner Federal Credit Union in Phoenix, Ariz., pleaded guilty to embezzlement in May. In a plea agreement, he admitted to stealing money from 11 member accounts. A U.S. District Court judge in Phoenix sentenced Entzminger to 15 months in prison and five years of supervised release. He was ordered to pay restitution of $621,937.
Amanda Marie Renis, a former employee of the $174 million Preferred Credit Union in Grand Rapids, Mich., pleaded guilty to embezzlement in December 2016 in a state court, according to the NCUA. In its prohibition notice, the independent federal agency did not report how much money Renis stole.
