Woman Sentenced For Defrauding Employer Out Of $300,000
July 21, 2022
An Escambia County woman has been sentenced for defrauding her employer out of over $300,000.
Cassondra Leigh Moreno, 43, was sentenced to seven years in prison to be followed by 20 years probation. She was convicted of organized fraud and money laundering.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation into Moreno 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 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.
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.

@Citizen don’t forget she’ll have to pay restitution and other costs associated with her arrest (court, fines, probation…) AND she certainly won’t be fed as well! She deserves more time, I agree. Prayers to the victim.
Wow I bet your family is proud of you !! Ya know it must be a bad feeling ( for some ) to know eventually you will get caught and will go to prison!!! Every day on your mind !!! That’s got to be a lot to carry around everyday!!! Now some people just don’t care !! I learned a long time ago. A liar and a thief go hand in hand!!! If they lie to you they will steal!!! I don’t believe this big girl will be able to stop lying and stealing 7 in prison and 20 yrs probation !! We will see this person again guarantee!!!!!
she is being paid a little over 42,000.00 a year for her prison time!( 300,000 / 7 = 42857.14)
