NCUA headquarters, Washington, D.C.
A former teller who stole thousands of dollars from the $94.5 million Alaska Air Group Federal Credit Union and attempted to falsify records to cover it up was banned from participating in the affairs of any insured financial institution, the NCUA said Monday.
According to court records obtained by CU Times, Labrandi Nicole Wilson, 45, of Anchorage was sentenced in April 2020 to 180 days in jail, which was suspended by a state court judge who also ordered Wilson to two years of probation.

Wilson was hired as a teller in 2017. By September 2019 when she was fired, an audit revealed her teller drawer was short by more than $6,500. An internal investigation conducted by the credit union's Anchorage branch supervisor found that Wilson was hiding her theft by manipulating the data on a branch computer to make it appear her cash drawer was balanced, according to court documents.
In a plea deal with prosecutors, Wilson pleaded guilty to attempted falsifying of business records while the theft charge was dropped, according to court records.
Wilson was ordered to pay restitution to the SeaTac, Wash.-based credit union.
