Banker Accused of 450000 Embezzlement in Porth Amboy
In Porth Amboy New Jersey on May 6 a banker and former community leader named William C Motley faced embezzlement charges alleging losses over 450000. The Flat Banc and Trust Company where he served as vice president reported the complaint. Prosecutor Mex Hher indicated the funds were tied to bad investments and personal loans alongside loans to church and community officials. Motley, married with three children, previously chaired the Community Chest, directed Red Cross fundraising, led Boy Scout campaigns, and held leadership roles in local banking and church circles. The scheme allegedly began about three years ago as Motley used bank money to speculate in stocks, deepening losses. About 189000 may be recoverable. Motley’s attorney Favller entered a not guilty plea. He is free on 25000 bond. The bank’s directors met in shock at the revelation and authorities noted no irregularities in prior audits.
