Bookkeeper Gets Two Year Sentence for Scheme that Destroyed Donadio & Olson - Publishers Weekly

This afternoon Panzer was shaken awake from his nap by the sounds of crying and wailing coming from the Catosphere. Jumping into the Panzermobile, our brave kitty boy followed all the noise to the Publishers Weekly site. There with a little digging he discovered a post about the Donadio and Olson literary agency and the agency's former bookkeeper Darin Webb.

Should have been 20 years instead.

According to Andrew Albanese, Donaldio and Olson's former bookkeeper Darin Webb has been sentenced to 2 years in prison. Mr. Webb was convicted of embezzling $3.8 million from the literary agency. Because of his embezzlement the company was forced into bankruptcy. Several authors also were financially impacted by the crime.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... Two years for all that havoc?"
