“State health care exchange officials said they had thoroughly vetted Christa Ann McClure, the Connect for Health Colorado director [...]”
“[...] The 12-page indictment alleges that, while serving as executive director of the federally funded Housing Montana, McClure, between 2008 and 2010, paid herself “significant sums” for consulting services, although she was already on the payroll as a full-time employee. [...] made payments to her family and used federal money for personal travel, to pay family bills and to buy consulting services, the indictment alleges.”
“She also is accused of charging homeowners for a $750 warranty that did not exist, converting a laptop for personal use, inflating the hours she was to be compensated and writing herself a $21,000 check to which she was not entitled.”
“The indictment did not specify the total amount she allegedly embezzled.” (emphasis added)
