U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced the guilty plea of a former New Jersey Postal Service employee charged with embezzling more than $50,000 of postal funds.
Thea Sisler, of Flanders, admitted before U.S. District Judge Jerome B. Simandle in Camden federal court to intentionally misappropriating monies belonging to her employer at the Stockholm post office. In addition to those funds, Sisler admitted to embezzling approximately $69,850 more money beginning in June 2009 and lasting through September 2010.
The 31-year-olds guilty plea carries a statutory maximum prison sentence of
10 years and a $250,000 fine, or twice the gross gain or loss of the offense. Sisler's sentencing is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 20, 2012.
Fishman lauded the investigative work of special agents of the U.S. Postal Service – Office of Inspector General (Jane Hughes) for Monday's guilty plea.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jacques S. Pierre of the U.S. Attorney’s Office Health Care and Government Fraud Unit represented the government. Attorney John Whipple, of Chatham, acted as Sisler's defense counsel.
