A Denver woman, identified as Tiffany Vo, received her sentencing on Thursday for her involvement in a case of theft against the popular company, Amazon. According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Vo was given a jail sentence of one year and a day after being found guilty of stealing a staggering amount of nearly $500,000 from her employer.
The 37-year-old defendant had taken a plea deal and pleaded guilty to the charge of wire fraud, as stated in a news release by federal officials. It was revealed that Vo had been working for Amazon and was responsible for managing virtual employee programs from the summer of 2020 until at least June of 2022.
During her time at the company, Vo had been fabricating invoices and expense reports to claim reimbursement for corporate events that never took place. This led to her embezzling a total of $483,393.58 from Amazon, as per the news release. Shockingly, authorities discovered that Vo had been using the stolen funds for her own personal expenses, which included luxury designer items such as handbags and sunglasses, payments towards her condo, two vehicles, exercise equipment, and even thousands of dollars worth of beauty products.
