Bank Teller Steals $150,450 From Cash Drawer, Drains Elderly Customers’ Accounts To Conceal Theft: DOJ

A 28-year-old North Carolina bank teller will spend months in prison as well as pay tens of thousands of dollars in restitution after stealing from her employer and making unauthorized withdrawals from customer accounts.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Sarah Wilson embezzled $150,450 in cash from her teller drawer while working at First Citizens Bank.

Court documents say Wilson attempted to conceal her crimes by manipulating the bank’s financial records.

“To hide her theft, she entered numerous fraudulent transactions into the Bank’s computer system – fraudulent buy/sell transactions associated with the bank’s vault and fraudulent withdrawal transactions from the accounts of two elderly customers, then 89 years old and 90 years old, with whom Wilson was familiar.”

When the 89-year-old detected suspicious activity on his account and asked Wilson about it, she assured him that everything “looked fine.”

“By then, Wilson’s fraudulent entries had effectively depleted his savings and certificate of deposit accounts by $59,700.”

Wilson also drained $42,650 from the 90-year-old’s certificate of deposit account.

Wilson was fired from First Citizens Bank in May of 2024 following an investigation that revealed the extent of her theft.

Wilson, who started working as a teller at First Citizens Bank in December of 2023, pleaded guilty to three counts of embezzlement by a bank employee in August of 2025. Besides serving a 21-month prison sentence and 36 months of supervised release, Wilson will also be required to pay $150,450 in restitution.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
