Judge sends former Guernsey treasurer to prison

A federal judge has sentenced the former Guernsey town treasurer to two years in prison for failing to pay taxes on money she has admitted to embezzling from the town. Judge Alan B. Johnson ordered U.S. Marshals to take 39-year-old Leslie Diane Zynda into custody immediately after Wednesday's sentencing hearing in Cheyenne. Johnson ordered Zynda to repay Guernsey more than $276,000. He also ordered her to pay the IRS more than $75,000 in unpaid taxes on the embezzled money. Zynda apologized for taking the money from the town. Prosecutors said the embezzlement started in 2005 and stopped after current Guernsey Mayor Edward Delgado was elected in 2010 and started scrutinizing the books. Delgado told Johnson that Zynda's actions have hurt public confidence in town government.

  1. Today there are more possibilities to get educated that it was in the past. Virtually you can attend the course you want instead of studying for years. If you lack money, you can immediately check loan online same day. You can have your money just on the next business day. What’s important, if it is a national holiday, the loan stores don’t work but it doesn’t appeal to the online services. Male an agreement with it and decide how much money you need at that moment. Although it gas some traps, so be careful.
