‘Yes, I Took the Money’: Woman, 60, Arrested for Defrauding New Canaan Nonprofit

By |

New Canaan Police last week arrested a 60-year-old Hillsdale, N.J. woman by warrant and charged her with first-degree larceny and second- and third-degree forgery. Employed as the financial officer at a New Canaan-based nonprofit organization that is seeking to end Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, the woman hadn’t filed tax returns for the agency since 2019 and hadn’t filed payroll taxes since 2020, according to an arrest warrant application signed by a state Superior Court judge. The woman admitted to the failures and admitted to the organization’s CEO that she “had diverted IRS and Connecticut State correspondence by changing the business address to [her own] home address,” according to an application filed by New Canaan Police Sgt. Peter Condos. The financial officer also forged the CEO’s signature on a state registration form, allowing for “online filing of company financial disclosures in another possible attempt to hide irregularities,” the application said.
