Yonkers Banker Gets Prison Time For Stealing $122,000 From Elderly Client
WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. - A personal banker from Westchester County is heading to prison after he was found guilty of stealing more than $100,000 from an elderly client.
Westchester County District Attorney Anthony Scarpino announced that New Rochelle resident Matthew Gunther, 34, has been sentenced to between one and a half and four and a half years in state prison after being found guilty by a jury of multiple felony charges on Wednesday.
According to Scarpino, between December 2012 and July 2013, Gunther, who worked as a personal banker at Chase Bank in Yonkers, stole $122,100 from a customer’s account after he deposited money from a Certificate of Deposit that had recently matured.
The victim came to Gunther’s branch with the intention of placing the funds in a savings account. Gunther was the banker to set up the new account and knew that the victim wasn’t expecting to use it on a daily basis, Scarpino said.
