Charlotte man sentenced for stealing money from nonprofit group
The former treasurer of a Charlotte-area nonprofit organization was sentenced Tuesday to two years in federal prison for stealing $344,262 from the group.
Floyd Kevan Weaver, 53, of Charlotte, used the money to buy jewelry and a car, among other items, prosecutors said.
Weaver worked for the N.C. Health Information Management Association, which represents more than 3,000 health information professionals.
According to court records and testimony at his sentencing hearing, Weaver forged the name of one of the nonprofit’s officers on the organization’s bank checks and deposited them into his personal bank account.
He concealed the fraud by logging the transactions as travel expenses, mileage reimbursement, office supplies and postage, court records show. Weaver forged 116 checks totaling about $326,545. He also used the association’s debit card to steal $17,717 for his personal use, according to court records.
He pleaded guilty in October to uttering counterfeit and forged securities.
Weaver worked for the association from 2000 to 2013. He admitted to stealing the money from 2008 to 2013, records show.
