The Philadelphia Inquirer reports:
The former chief financial officer of Visit Philadelphia, a taxpayer-funded tourism agency, pleaded guilty Wednesday to embezzling more than $200,000 from the organization over nearly seven years and using the proceeds for personal expenses including high-end restaurant meals, skin care, and furs.That's a whole lot of money to steal for probation!
Joyce Levitt, 61, will be placed on three years' probation after pleading guilty to theft, receiving stolen property, and fraud, court records show. Dozens of forgery charges were dismissed as part of the plea, according to the records.
