A Windsor woman was sentenced to a year and a day in prison for embezzling approximately $190,000 from her former employer and failing to pay federal income taxes on the embezzled income.
Rebecca Block was employed by Westford-based PG Life Planning Assoc. Inc. Block stole from the company by issuing more than 200 checks payable to herself and depositing those checks into her personal bank account, according to court documents and statements. She concealed the embezzlement from her employer by disguising the payments in PG Life’s internal accounting records as legitimate business expenses. Block embezzled approximately $190,399 over the approximately four-year period, and failed to report a total of $42,004 in income taxes on her 2010 through 2013 federal tax returns.
Block pleaded guilty to one count of filing a false tax return on Feb. 20, 2018.
Block was ordered to pay $190,399 in restitution to PG Life, and $42,004, plus applicable interest and penalties, to the IRS.
Block, who is released on a $40,000 bond, was ordered to report to prison on Aug. 15, 2018.
