A woman from Minnesota's excessive gambling habit results in a $2.7 million fraudulent act.
In a court ruling, Destiny McKayla Combs, a 37-year-old woman who served as the accounting manager at a surrogacy agency and an affiliated law firm in Minnesota for nearly a decade, has been sentenced to more than four years in prison for embezzling approximately $2.72 million.
Combs' criminal activities spanned from February 2019 to June 2023. The U.S. District Court has ordered her supervised release for three years following her prison term.
The embezzlement was uncovered after Combs repeatedly lied to her probation officer and violated the terms of her release, a flagrant violation of the travel restrictions enforced by the court. It was discovered that she took trips to New York and Las Vegas, among other places.
Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson made a statement about the case, describing Combs' actions as treating her workplace like her own personal slot machine. The US Attorney's Office, District of Minnesota, announced the sentence, with Combs being sentenced to 51 months in prison for the embezzlement.
After serving her four years and three months prison sentence, Combs will undergo three years of supervised release. The court's decision was made to ensure that Combs is held accountable for her actions and to deter others from committing similar crimes.
