Hurling was a fiduciary for Veterans Affairs (VA) &#8211; she had the responsibility of caring for veterans and their financial affairs when the VA deemed them to be unable to do so for themselves. So she helped herself to $141,734.22 from 22 veterans she cared for over a period of five years, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/texas\/2016\/03\/04\/women-sentenced-for-stealing-benefits-from-veterans\/\">Brietbart<\/a>. A federal judge sentenced her to fourteen months in the company of the US Bureau of Prisons.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The violation of Title 38, United States Code, section 6101 is a felony. She was indicted by a grand jury in early March of 2015.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to her sentence, Judge Ezra also ordered Hurling to pay the full amount in restitution for the funds she had misappropriated.<\/p>\n<p>After Hurling serves her sentence in federal prison, she will be placed on supervised release for a period of three years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.expressnews.com\/news\/local\/article\/S-A-woman-stole-141-000-in-veterans-benefits-6504241.php\">San Antonio Express<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>She had opened bank accounts for all 22, but she was also the signatory on a business bank account for Educational Health Care or EHC, which she incorporated in Texas in July 2008 and served as director, and an account she shared with her daughter, the plea paperwork said.<\/p>\n<p>A review of her business and personal accounts showed Hurling was the primary user, and that she deposited money from veterans\u2019 accounts into the EHC account in amounts greater than her VA-authorized fiduciary fee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn most of those instances, the funds were not used for any of the veterans\u2019 benefit,\u201d the plea paperwork said. \u201cRather, the debits on the account were for Hurling\u2019s personal use. For example, Hurling spent money on meals, lawn service, handyman repairs, and movie rentals.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know how they figure she&#8217;ll be able to pay the money back and I doubt any of it will make to the veterans anyway. But there it is.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Thunderstixx for the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cornelia V.
