$2 Million Embezzlement from PBS Alleged in Lawsuit
A former finance director of the Public Broadcasting Service’s Boston video distribution arm is alleged to have stolen more than $2 million from the network, The Boston Globe reported.
The alleged embezzlement was brought to light in a lawsuit filed by PBS’s insurance company against Citizens Bank, according to the Globe.
The suit alleges that Christopher C. Morris, who worked for a PBS subsidiary that sells DVDs and video-on-demand of popular shows, deposited more than 200 checks meant for PBS in his own private account, and it contends that Citizens should have been aware of the fraud.
The Globe reported that there have been no charges filed in the case, according to court records.
