A former Wisconsin advertising executive is expected to plead guilty to two charges of wire fraud and embezzling. Milwaukee Business News reports that Vicki Berka, a former chief financial officer for the Milwaukee-based Bader Rutter & Associates, is being accused of using her position within the company and her bank login credentials to embezzle approximately $2.7 million over three years.
Berka was CFO of Bader Rutter from February 2006 to March 2018. The charges brought against her stem from incidents that occurred from July 2014 through September 2017.
Reports say Berka was given access to the company's health benefit account, where she allegedly made various ACH transfers to another account in her name.
If convicted, Berka could face up to 30 years in prison and up to $500,000 in fines.
