FDLE Charges Escambia Woman With Stealing $300,000 From Her Employer
February 18, 2021
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents arrested an Escambia County woman Tuesday on for fraud and money laundering.
Cassondra Leigh Moreno, 42, was charged with one count of organized fraud and four counts of money laundering.
The investigation began in June 2020 when Moreno’s employer, a beverage distributor, advised FDLE that it had noticed a $300,000 accounting discrepancy involving stolen money orders, which appeared to be linked to Moreno. The employer oversees sales in numerous stores from Pensacola to Panama City. The investigation revealed that over a four-year period, Moreno used her position as a transportation supervisor to engage in a scheme to defraud. She modified her employer’s accounting system to conceal the amount of money orders she had stolen, according to FDLE.
FDLE said an analysis of her personal financial records revealed that she received over $300,000 between 2017-2020 by depositing hundreds of stolen money orders into her accounts. She resigned from her job in May 2020.
Moreno’s bond was set at $75,000.

@Mike: Agree with you 100%. A thief is a thief.
Mike It’s a joke LOL LOL LOL
At Tom.. so you believe stealing is justified if you are not paid what you want? That’s what’s wrong with society now , if you don’t get what you want you go out and lie and steal to get it. What a douche comment you made.
@Jeff: I was asking a question. As in, it is actually the fault of the company?
If companies would pay the employees a decent wage they wouldn’t have to steal
This problem exists because some people are not honest And for no other reason
Chris, do you really believe what you said. That’s like blaming the bank because somebody robbed Them.
This problem Exists because this lady is, allegedly, a thief and for no other reasons.
“This problem exists because these companies do not have checks and balances”
So, it’s not the fault of the THIEF. It’s the fault of the company?
Let someone who is insured and bonded handle the finances of the company.
Companies must do audits, i.e., monthly, or quarterly, or yearly. Looks like more people were involved in scam.
bond should be 300,000.00, the same as she stole.
$300,000?! Wow, that’s a lot of chili dogs and YooHoos!
Note to all future rocket scientists: When defrauding your employer, do NOT deposit stolen funds into your own personal account.
This problem exists because these companies do not have checks and balances within the security of their company. Letting just one person handle the money is the worst idea of any company. It is a disaster waiting to happen by putting all your assets and trust in the hands of one person gives your company a liability of theft.They are partially to blame.
