A former Yale School of Medicine employee has pleaded guilty to stealing $40 million from the University which she used to splash out on expensive cars, real estate, and holidays, the U.S. Department of Justice announced.
Jamie Petrone, 42, pleaded guilty on March 28 in federal court in Hartford, Connecticut, to one count of filing a false tax return and one count of wire fraud for her role in the money-making scheme which saw her steal a total of $40,504,200 from Yale.
