Probation revoked for Palm Desert embezzler who stole $500,000 from employer
A judge today revoked probation for an accountant who embezzled roughly $500,000 from her Palm Desert employer, opening her up to a possible seven-year prison sentence.
Traci L. Kunz, 46, pleaded guilty in September 2019 to one felony count each of grand theft and forgery, with a sentence-enhancing allegation of perpetrating multiple fraudulent transactions, in crimes that occurred over a three-year span beginning in 2013.
Kunz was sentenced to five years probation last August and ordered to repay her previous employer $5,000 per month. As of that time, she had already repaid $250,000.
At a hearing Friday, prosecutors said she was behind on her payments and successfully petitioned Riverside County Superior Court Judge James Hawkins to revoke her probation.
