Former credit union manager Debra C. Pyfrom was sentenced by a Kentucky federal judge Wednesday to six and a half years in prison for embezzling more than $600,000. Her embezzlement led to the insolvency of the $5.4 million International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 816 Federal Credit Union.
U.S. District Court Judge Thomas B. Russell in Paducah, Ky. also ordered Pyfrom, 61, to pay $60,520 in restitution.
In June 2014, she admitted to Kentucky police detectives and NCUA auditors that she stole more than $100,000 over two years. At the time of her arrest and initial theft charges in July, an audit of the credit union's finances was under way.
