WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) - A woman from Kansas pleaded guilty in connection to a scheme to defraud her former employers of millions of dollars.

According to a press release from The United States Department of Justice, Nancy Martin, 77, of Wichita pleaded guilty to one count of bank fraud and one count of aid or assist filing a false tax document.

Martin admitted to defrauding her employers Mid-Kansas Wound Specialists and Emergency Services P.A.

She worked for the businesses as a bookkeeper, business manager, and chief operating officer.

An audit revealed that from 2012 to 2017, Martin embezzled approximately $3.1 million by fraudulent obtaining money from her employers’ banks.
