Woman admits $1M stolen from employer paid for luxury lifestyle

MAMARONECK, N.Y. — A part-time assistant's stolen-money-funded life of luxury could cost her 15 years in state prison.

Westchester County District Attorney Anthony Scarpino, Jr. announced Tuesday that Joann Perrino, a 60-year-old Yonkers resident, pleaded guilty to stealing nearly $1 million from her employer.

The district attorney's office said Perrino initiated transfers and wrote checks from her employer's account to pay for personal expenses, including car and mortgage payments, travel expenses, spa treatments and, on one occasion, a $4,366 shopping spree on clothes.

The district attorney's office said Perrino stole $987,428 from January 2009 to May 2014 before being arrested by Town of Mamaroneck police May 22, 2014.

have some new accommodations, perhaps a bit less luxurious than those previously enjoyed by this thief. I hope that they can recover the money for her employer.

looted Microsoft and made off with over $900,000. She spent like 2 years in jail, but I and everyone else in the family was hoping for a real sentence. I never understand why there is such sentence disparities in this world. Some people spend more time in prison for stealing a handful of money than they would for murder. Other people spend almost no time in prison for anything. Race and class. Race and class.
