Woman arrested after embezzling more than $325k from freight brokerage
A woman is in jail after being accused of embezzling more than $327,000 from a Logistics Revolution, a Richmond, Indiana freight brokerage after the president of the logistics firm discovered the theft.
According to court documents, Denise King, 55, faces a felony charge of theft after she was accused of making fraudulent checks to King Karriers, depositing them into a business account under that company name and then moving the money to her personal accounts.
It is not confirmed, but according to DAT’s Broker Directory, the logistics company may have been feeling the effects for this scheme for some time as there are several reviews of slow carrier payments, rate deductions and mention of a woman in accounting, “Miss. D ” who apparently was not cutting checks to carriers on time. One comment from the company in response to the negative review posted on December 3rd, 2019 addresses the issue “The Miss D you are referring to no longer works for Logistics Revolution. We have made adjustments to our accounting department, and have improved in that area. Sorry for your past experience. We would appreciate an opportunity to do business with you in the future. Thanks”
During a search warrant served last week, police found two debit cards in Kings purse that connected her to the business bank accounts she was using to conduct the theft. King is charged with a felony charge of theft, and is currently in jail.
