Daily News | Former financial professional for Philly Pops, Jewish Exponent pleads guilty to embezzling more than $1.4M
A former financial director for the Philly Pops and the Jewish Exponent admitted Tuesday that she stole more than $1.4 million from the nonprofits and used the stolen funds to pay off thousands in credit card debt.
“Did you do what the government said you did?” U.S. District Judge Timothy Savage asked Lutts as she pleaded guilty to 24 counts of mail and wire fraud.As a result of her guilty plea — which did not come as a result of a deal struck with prosecutors — Lutts now faces up to 20 years in prison on the most serious count at a sentencing hearing Savage scheduled for October.
Lutts’ pattern of theft, which stretched over four years and across two high-ranking positions with notable nonprofits, was all the more remarkable for the serious financial struggles both organizations were facing in the years before she was hired. And within months, Lutts began using her position to drain its accounts of $1.2 million starting in 2016. She hid her graft by doctoring bank statements presented to her employers and secretly taking out a corporate credit card in her name.
