OEMC Checks

A City of Chicago employee, a clerk, was charged today with stealing almost 750,000 dollars.

She was in a position where she received checks, some of which apparently were made out just to "OEMC" - an acronym for a city department, the Office of Emergency Management and Communications.

So she opened a business bank account under "OEMC - Chenier". Chenier is her last name. Then, allegedly, she started depositing OEMC checks into the OEMC - Chenier account.

Several years later, somehow, the bank noticed that things didn't look right.

She re-routed
but got outed.
