Susanna Kurus was sentenced in Hartford district court to 30 days in prison, followed by 60 days of home confinement after pleading guilty to wire fraud in March.

In addition to her prison time and home confinement, Kurus will serve two years of supervised release and was ordered to perform 100 hours of community service. She must also pay $133,870,55 in restitution to her former employer.

Kurus 43, who now lives in Garner, North Carolina, the former accounting manager of the Stratford company, stole $133,870.55 through an elaborate scheme using the company’s financial accounting software.

Using that software, Kurus was able to transfer customer credits to at least six personal debit card accounts and used that money for personal expenses.

Kurus remains released on a $200,000 bond and is required to report to prison on Jan. 6, 2020.
