WILLIAMSPORT A former securities broker in Tennessee has admitted emailing false and forged documents as part of a scheme that misappropriated $5.7 million from the pension plan of a Centre County business.
John Sherman Jumper, 55, of Memphis, pleaded guilty Friday in U.S. Middle District Court to a charge of wire fraud.
The government has set the loss from the scheme at $2.7 million because the pension plan for hourly workers at Snow Shoe Refractories of Clarence was repaid $3 million.
The charge to which Jumper pleaded guilty involved an email he sent to the pension plan’s unidentified actuary in Harrisburg that contained false and fraudulent information.
