WHAT A HEEL!: Dead Men Write No Checks

 

Former law firm office manager/bookkeeper Sara San Martin, 39, (AKA Sara Echeverria) pleaded guilty to two felony counts of bank fraud for forging her boss's signature on checks from his personal accounts after he died of a stroke on Aug. 31, 2004 at the age of 65. Daily Business Review reports that prosecutors indicted her on charges that she had written one  check against late Miami maritime attorney William Huggett’s account at BankUnited for $236,800 to pay down her home mortgage, and a second check for $23,079 against Huggett's money-market account at Wachovia Bank to pay off a loan on a 2003 Dodge Ram 150. San Martin is scheduled to be sentenced February 1, 2008, and could get up to 30 years in prison and up to $1 million in fines for each count.
