Former bookkeeper gets 60-month sentence in $2 million scheme
A former Midland bookkeeper was sentenced to 60 months in federal prison on Tuesday for stealing more than $2 million from a local businessman, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas.
U.S. District Judge Robert A. Junell also ordered that Kimberley Dale Boyce, 52, pay restitution of $2.04 million and be placed on supervised release for a period of three years after completing her prison term, according to the release.
A jury found Boyce guilty on Aug. 10 of three counts of mail fraud, three counts of wire fraud, three counts of engaging in monetary transactions with criminally derived funds and three counts of tax evasion.
Trial evidence revealed that over a two-year period beginning in February 2012, Boyce implemented a scheme involving mailed documentation and wire transfers to syphon money from a Midland County business owner’s bank accounts and place it into bank accounts that she controlled. Boyce also failed to accurately report to the IRS her actual taxable income — totaling more than $2.5 million -- for tax years 2012, 2013 and 2014.
