IT Director Sentenced for $550K Fraud | Indianapolis News

An IT director in Indianapolis, Michael Meenan, was sentenced to 18 months in prison for stealing nearly $550,000 from a nonprofit he served for 20 years. Using his company credit card, he made hundreds of unauthorized personal purchases — from Apple gift cards and Southwest tickets to cycling gear — then forged receipts to disguise them as legitimate business expenses. The FBI uncovered the fraud, which spanned over 15 years, and a federal judge ordered him to repay $543,000 in restitution. The case underscores how nonprofits — often strapped for resources — are especially vulnerable to insider theft, and why strong oversight is critical to protecting both finances and public trust.
