Not my Bank, hopefully she didn't target someone you know, imagine she will have a difficult time finding employment after she does her time.

RCMP charge former bank employee with fraud and money laundering, Sarah Miles Brouilette, 38, allegedly stole over $1 million while employed at ATB.

A Red Deer woman is facing charges of fraud, theft and money laundering after an intensive investigation by the Red Deer RCMP fraud section. RCMP allege that the suspect stole just over one million dollars while she was employed at ATB Financial.

Sylvan Lake RCMP began their investigation in August of 2017 after receiving a report from ATB alleging that an employee had forged a customer’s signature and obtained a loan in their name. Due to the complexity of the investigation, the Red Deer RCMP fraud unit took over the file and worked closely with ATB Corporate Investigations to trace a series of fraudulent transactions. The investigation has uncovered numerous loans obtained by using the personal information of clients and other people known to the suspect for a total amount of $1,148,020.

The employee was terminated from her position as a loan officer with ATB as soon as the allegations surfaced, and RCMP commend ATB for its commitment to assisting police throughout the investigation, and for the immediate steps taken to protect their clients’ security and finances.
All alleged victims have been contacted and RCMP have been assured that none of them faced a financial loss.

Sarah Miles Brouilette, 38, faces the charges of theft over $5,000, fraud over $5,000, two counts of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 and two counts of laundering the proceeds of crime.

She is also the reason the new meat shop that had opened up went down , placing a half dozen employees out of work !

Sadly, I'm not shocked that it happened, frankly more surprised that the bank is open about it, normally they hope to sweep these things under the rug. it's bad for business if people can't trust their bank

What will be interesting is the defence, who's willing bet there is no forthcoming accountability.....

$5K?

Seems like a low number based on the total sum, or is it because it was a series of over $5K/under $xK crimes?

Lady might make some loot on a book deal. White collar and all.

Asking because I'm a retired soldier, not a lawyer.

Over $5,000.. I don't think there is anything higher.

Hey, it's Canada, we don't give serious jail time for White Collar crime, just the definition of the charges shows what a joke they are. Come to think of it, we don't give serious jail time for any crime. Betting she spent it all at the casino.
