The single most reliable predictor of dental embezzlement is prior embezzlement. Prosperident's Hall of Shame archive contains numerous cases in which the perpetrator had been caught before — at a prior employer, under a prior name, or in a prior jurisdiction — yet was hired into a new practice and given access to its finances. In several cases the individual's prior conviction was publicly recorded and would have appeared in a background check. It did not.
The cases below represent a subset of the repeat and serial offenders documented in Prosperident's archive: employees who embezzled from more than one practice, who faced new charges while earlier cases were still pending, or who returned to dental employment after serving time for a prior theft conviction. Hiring alerts are included where the individual remains a known risk. If a candidate's background raises questions, Prosperident can advise confidentially at 888-398-2327 before you make an offer.
