A Meriden woman has pleaded guilty to an embezzlement scheme where she took more than $400,000 from the bank accounts of a property management firm’s clients.

Crystal Klatt, 36, waived her right to be indicted and pleaded guilty Tuesday in New Haven federal court to one count of wire fraud, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney’s office.

According to court documents and statements made in court, Klatt worked as an office manager at a property management company in Hamden. According to her LinkedIn profile, Klatt worked at Margolis Management and Realty LLC, which manages properties for condominium associations.

The property management company had access to its clients’ bank accounts to allow the management company to make payments on behalf of the respective client. Klatt had access to the client’s bank accounts as part of her job responsibilities, the statement said, and between approximately December 2014 and January 2021, Klatt diverted a total of $446,859.82 from the bank accounts of at least 14 clients to pay her personal credit card charges.

Klatt is released on a $50,000 bond pending sentencing, which is scheduled for March 8.
