Stephanie Cieslinski of Midland, Michigan (MI) pleaded guilty to her role in an embezzlement scheme that cost a Midland dental practice nearly $1,000,000. Appearing in court, Cieslinski acknowledged that her conduct was inexcusable. The scale of the loss demonstrates how extended, unsupervised access to practice finances — without independent oversight — can lead to catastrophic results.
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.
