(AP) – A former medical office manager has been convicted of
stealing more than $611,000 from businesses that handled expenses for doctors in
Little Rock.
Court records show that 52-year-old Lynn Alisa Espejo of Sherwood was
convicted Wednesday on 15 counts of wire fraud, six counts of money laundering
and four counts of filing false income tax returns.
Espejo had pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Federal prosecutors say Espejo was office manager for Practice Management
Services, Inc. and Blanford Medical Services, Inc. when she had $611,099
transferred by wire from the two companies to her personal bank accounts from
March 2007 through October 2010.
Prosecutors say Espejo used the money for expenses including construction of a
new home, a pool, a trampoline and vehicle payments.
