An Olathe woman is facing charges of wire fraud after a federal grand jury indicted her for utilizing her ex-employer’s company debit card to make numerous unauthorized purchases, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Kendra Gonzalez, a 32-year-old woman, allegedly used a company debit card to buy 150 luxury handbags from a social commerce marketplace that specializes in the online buying and selling of secondhand goods.
Gonzalez splurged over $250,000 on the handbags.
According to the indictment, Gonzalez misused the company debit card by using it for personal expenses without authorization. These expenses included meals, entertainment, hotel accommodations, as well as sending money to other individuals.
During the time when the alleged wire fraud took place, Gonzalez held the position of comptroller.
