Long Shot Fails for Banker in Yonkers Bank Embezzlement
A 29-year-old teller at The County Trust Co. in Yonkers admitted arranging a $70,000 “holdup” to cover his embezzlement, but the actual cash taken was $25,000. His two accomplices fled with $25,000 while he faced embezzlement charges, with arraignment set for June 28 and a maximum penalty of five years and $5,000. FBI said the hoax aimed to offset a $83,000 bank loss from horse betting.
