An Amazon manager who stole almost $10 million with fake invoices and used the money to buy a house, a Tesla, and a Lamborghini was jailed for 16 years
after running a $9.4 million fraud ring while working at the online retail giant.
Wortham conspired with Brittany Hudson, whom she was dating, during the scheme. Hudson ran Legend Express LLC, which was contracted with Amazon to deliver packages to customers, per the US Attorney's Office. She faced further fraud charges for fabricating court documents to close a deal with CRUS Franchising Company to franchise a hookah lounge in Atlanta.
"This individual stole millions from a business that employed her – exploiting not only their trust, but our nation's financial systems," said the US Secret Service's Steven R. Baisel in a statement.
