Delaware Woman Faces Sentencing in $6M Fraud Case

November 16, 2017

Federal prosecutors say a Delaware woman charged with transferring more than $6 million from the operating account of the financial services company where she worked into her own bank accounts over several years deserves to spend at least five years in prison.

But attorneys for 67-year-old Roberta Czap are asking for leniency and no more than two years in prison.

Czap, who faces a maximum 33 years in prison, was to appear for sentencing Monday after pleading guilty to wire fraud, money laundering and making a false statement on a tax return.

Czap’s husband, Matthew Czap, was sentenced in July to a year and a day in prison after pleading guilty to structuring financial transactions to avoid currency reporting requirements.

Prosecutors say the fraud took place between 2011 and 2016.

    What I don't understand is why these big fraud cases keep popping up? Are owners asleep at the switch or just high on dope? Anything going on with financial statements?

    I agree, Jack. She needs to spend significant time in prison.

    I hope they give her at least 20 years and seize all assets. They got to start getting tough on crime. 2 years in jail for stealing $6,000,000 is insanely lenient.
