LaDonna Johnson, a veteran employee at dental practices in Hamlin and Alum Creek, West Virginia (WV), was accused of embezzling at least $250,000 across the two practices. Investigators noted that in the three months before Johnson took a Hawaiian vacation, there were no recorded cash payments from patients — a strong indicator of cash skimming. An unexplained gap or decline in cash receipts relative to patient volume is one of the more reliable early warning signs of embezzlement that Prosperident regularly identifies during investigations.
Embezzlement on this scale rarely develops overnight—it compounds year after year, undetected. Prosperident's forensic team can quantify the full damage and build the evidence needed for prosecution and recovery.
