An ex-bookkeeper for the Delaware River Waterfront Corp. has been sentenced to about 4 1/2 years in prison for embezzling $2.6 million from the nonprofit organization.
“To have repaid this money would have been by its nature to risk detection,” Wolson said.
DiPietro-Sabatine had worked for the organization as an accountant since 1996 but only began embezzling during her last seven years. And by 2015, her scheme had become so successful, Assistant U.S. Attorney Nancy E. Potts said, DiPietro-Sabatine was embezzling more than a half-million dollars a year. The rest went toward trips to Lake Tahoe, Disney World, the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, and the Hawaiian Disney Resort.
“At any point she could have told her employer what was happening,” she said. “At any point she could have halted what she was doing. But that never happened.”
