ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Jan. 31, 2017) – The National Credit Union Administration in January issued a notice of prohibition to an individual who was convicted of a crime of dishonesty and, as a result, is prohibited from participating in the affairs of any federally insured financial institution.

• Helen Aloma Fitzgerald, a former employee of Southern Mississippi Federal Credit Union in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, pleaded guilty to the charge of embezzlement. Fitzgerald was sentenced to 10 years in prison, with eight years suspended, and two years’ supervised release. She also was ordered to pay a $2,500 fine and restitution in the amount of $8,800.
