WHAT A HEEL: Shawschenck’s Redemption?

Former law firm manager Regina Schenck, 46, was sentenced to three years and five months in prison for computer fraud and filing a false tax return in connection with an embezzlement scheme in which she pocketed $1.3 million between 2002 and 2008 from Sacramento firm Diepenbrock Harrison, reports The Recorder:

 

Schenck used law firm checks to pay off personal credit card expenses totaling more than $1 million. She also dipped into the firm's client trust account to buy five horses and a $40,000 horse trailer. …

 

Schenck also changed records in the firm's computer system to boost her own salary, award herself bonuses and increase her insurance benefits.

 

In addition to the prison stint, Schenck was ordered to repay her former employer the entire amount she embezzled, plus $246,000 to the Internal Revenue Service. Schenck, a resident of Herald, Calif., pleaded guilty in September in connection with the embezzlement.
