Kathleen Libby, 40, pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and will be sentenced on Sept. 4, the US Attorney for Massachusetts said. She faces up to 20 years in federal prison.
Libby was accused of stealing from her former employer in multiple ways, including creating a fake vendor named "Medline Surgical Supplies" to which she would send PayPal payments, the prosecutor said.
She used the money to buy items from Louis Vuitton, Bloomingdales, Best Buy, Target, and travel-related websites, and put relatives on the medical practice's payroll.
