A Florida woman got caught stealing from her job once — and then did it again. The financial director of a D.C.-based nonprofit got away with sums of cash over $270,000 before federal investigators caught up with her. Kristina Ballard, 53, pleaded guilty to wire fraud and will spend the next three years in prison. But, she’d done it before. In fact, Ballard had promised a judge in 2015 that she had learned from her mistakes and she’d “never let [something like this] happen again.” When she got four years probation for the prior offense, prosecutors said in a statement. But in reality, just four days after she was indicted on her first embezzlement offense, prosecutors said Ballard started taking money from her new job at Fairtrade America. During the first four months while she was going through the judicial process of her first offense, they said she stole $30,000 from the DC nonprofit.

Was so nice she did it twice!
