Former federal accountant sentenced for embezzling $1.4 million - Los Angeles Times

A former accountant with the U.S. Forest Service who stole $1.4 million from the agency will serve four years in federal prison and must pay back the money, according to the U.S. attorney's office in Los Angeles.

Kathy Stamps, 39, of Rancho Cucamonga, an accountant at the Angeles National Forest office in Arcadia, fabricated internal records to receive tax refunds, authorities say.

From 2002 to 2004, Stamps received six checks from the U.S. Treasury totaling $1.4 million.

She spent nearly $1.1 million on personal items ranging from cars and mortgage payments to jewelry and plastic surgery, authorities said.
