LONGVIEW — The Longview YMCA will get proceeds from a land sale as restitution, after a judge found that a former bookkeeper who embezzled from the nonprofit shouldn’t have transferred that land.
The Daily News reports that a Cowlitz County Superior Court judge last week authorized the sheriff’s office to sell property that Tomi Dupper had transferred to her daughter.
Dupper was sentenced in 2014 to two years in prison for embezzling half a million dollars from the YMCA.
In June, the nonprofit sued Dupper, alleging she gave away valuable land to her daughter in 2013 to prevent it from being seized to repay the organization.
Dupper has said she didn’t give away the land to defraud the YMCA but instead wanted her daughter to build a home on the property.
