Kristen Levin, also known as Kristen Cassels, a resident of Shreveport, Louisiana, was indicted on September 26, 2024, on three counts of wire fraud. The announcement came from United States Attorney Duane A. Evans.
The indictment states that Levin was employed by Company A from 2015 to 2020. Company A is partly located in St. Rose, Louisiana. Levin allegedly misused her position to steal approximately $589,729.12 from the company through fraudulent invoices for products never received by Company A. According to the indictment, Levin knew she was not entitled to this money.
If convicted, Levin faces up to 20 years imprisonment, up to three years of supervised release, up to a $250,000 fine, and a mandatory $100 special assessment fee.
U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans emphasized that "an indictment is merely a charge and that the guilt of the defendant must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt."
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating the case. Assistant United States Attorneys Kathryn McHugh and Brian M. Klebba are handling the prosecution.
