Porter payroll specialist's scam uncovered
TORONTO — A Porter Airlines payroll specialist was terminated recently after the company realized she was a convicted fraudster.
Monique Clarke was working for the Toronto airline while on bail, pending appeal of a three-year prison sentence for a scamming incident in which she cheated her former employer, Acxsys/Interac, out of $320,000 according to the Toronto Sun.
Her bail was revoked when the court discovered she was working in payroll at Porter, and she was subsequently jailed for three years.
While at Porter, Clarke stole more than $873,000 over a three-year span and was recently sentenced to an additional three years of jail time.
If unable to repay her debts within 10 years of release, she will be forced to serve another four years.
