Former Beth Israel employee convicted of embezzling more than $1m

Prosecutors said Webb worked as a practice assistant in the ear, nose and throat department. From January 2006 through April 2009, he embezzled more than $1 million by stealing checks written to the department and by seeking fraudulent refunds for hearing aids and other items.

Webb and the government have agreed to recommend a 42-month sentence, restitution and forfeiture of more than $1 million, the statement said. A sentencing hearing has been set for June 9.
