Texan Brenda Buckaloo-Merchant  was sentenced to  12 years in prison for embezzling more than 1.2 million dollars from Unitrin Insurance. She wrote checks from Unitrin to a fictional health insurance provider who was, in fact, he. Its a first degree felony in Texas.

I wonder how she got caught, but it seems a pretty silly way to go about it. Those big checks were going to be noticed sooner or later. However, some people think they’re untouchable and insurance is, as always, a favorite target for scammers:/
