Accountant Sentenced for Hospital Heist | Savannah News

A former accountant for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta just got a four-year federal prison sentence after conspiring with a hacker to steal $5.3 million — money that was funneled through a fake vendor account he controlled. The scheme, which began in February, involved Deabler helping the hacker redirect hospital funds, transferring $1 million directly and converting $3.5 million into cashier’s checks before the bank intervened. Though $4 million was recovered, $1.3 million vanished. Authorities emphasized the cruelty of stealing from a children’s hospital, and Deabler’s sentence sends a stark warning: financial skill can’t excuse crimes against vulnerable kids.
