A bank teller has been arrested for allegedly grabbing $1,000,000 in cash from his employer\u2019s vault and successfully sneaking it out of the premises.<\/p>\n
Daniel A. Acebo was hired by a New York bank \u2013 which hasn\u2019t yet been named \u2013 as a business banker, according to local reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n One of his jobs was to tally up the cash in the bank\u2019s vault at the end of each day, but according to a probable cause arrest affidavit, Acebo allegedly stole the money and concealed the theft by creating false reports and forging his supervisor\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n In what may have been an attempt to keep the theft undiscovered, Acebo reportedly requested an exception to a 1997 New York banking regulation that requires <\/a>employees in sensitive positions to be absent from their duties for a minimum of two consecutive weeks each year.<\/span><\/p>\n As stated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York,<\/p>\n \u201cSuch a requirement enhances the viability of a sound internal control environment because most frauds or embezzlements require the continual presence of the wrongdoer.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n However, Acebo\u2019s request was turned down by his employer.<\/p>\n The incident happened in 2023, and while Acebo was on vacation in December of last year, another teller was counting the cash and discovered that only about $100,000 was in the vault, despite Acebo reporting that there was $1,145,050 inside.<\/p>\n Video footage allegedly shows Acebo practicing his supervisor\u2019s signature while at work. Other surveillance shows him slipping money into a backpack or in his sock while pretending to tie his shoe before leaving the bank.<\/p>\n Between June 1st and December 17th of last year, Acebo allegedly made 135 cash deposits at various ATMs throughout the state totaling $600,000.<\/p>\n Acebo was subsequently charged<\/a> with embezzlement and misapplication by a bank officer in a U.S. District Court in White Plains, New York.<\/p>\n Don’t Miss a Beat \u2013 Subscribe<\/a> to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox <\/span><\/em>   Generated Image: Midjourney<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
