Acting U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans announced that ANGIE CAMBRE, age 43, of Laplace, was charged today in a one-count Bill of Information with wire fraud.
According to the Bill of Information, CAMBRE was hired in August 2011 to be the accountant and bookkeeper for a New Orleans commercial printing company (“Company A”) that specializes in printing materials, such as flyers and manuals, geared toward the automotive industry. Between November 2011 and June 2016, CAMBRE embezzled approximately $940,336.24 from Company A in a series of approximately 3,300 individual transactions, without Company A’s knowledge or authorization. CAMBRE did so by causing payments to be sent from one of Company A’s bank accounts to accounts under her control and to repay debts due and owing related to her personal use.
If convicted, CAMBRE faces a maximum term of imprisonment of twenty years in prison, three years of supervised release after any term of imprisonment, and a $250,000 fine.
Acting United States Attorney Evans reiterated that the Bill of Information is merely a charge and that the guilt of the defendant must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Acting U.S.
Attorney Evans praised the work of the United States Secret Service in investigating this matter. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jordan Ginsberg is in charge of the prosecution.
