Editorial note 1/28/2016: All of the criminal proceedings in this case were halted, the case was dismissed, and and the accusation was withdrawn on the grounds that the alleged embezzlement never took place and the legal action was the result of a misunderstanding. The proceedings have been expunged from criminal records. Consequently, by request, we have changed the name of the formerly accused to initials in order to protect the innocent while preserving the historic record.
