Lori Bowman, a former employee of a Bellevue, Washington dental practice, was sentenced in federal court to two and a half years in prison for forging prescriptions and misusing her employer’s credit card to pay for her children’s private school tuition and other personal expenses. The total loss to the practice was approximately $175,000. The combination of prescription fraud and credit card misuse illustrates how embezzlement schemes can extend well beyond simple cash theft into multiple categories of financial misconduct simultaneously.
