Identical twins face embezzlement charges
Identical twins have been charged with stealing thousands of dollars from separate employers during roughly the same two-year span, notes a report in The Washington Post.
A judge sentenced Patricia Young-Rynearson to three years in prison for embezzling about $70 000 from her employer, Sofa Select. Kathleen Young-Eperjesi, meanwhile, faces an October 22 trial on counts of forgery and theft. She has pleaded not guilty to charges that she stole more than $54 000 from Granger Irrigation Inc. Young-Rynearson struggled to answer when the judge repeatedly asked her why she started stealing money from the furniture and interior design store. Prosecutors say Young-Eperjesi, of Lakeville, who had done most of the bookkeeping for Granger Irrigation, wrote more than $40 000 in cheques to herself for her own personal expenses, without the company\'s consent.
