Harrison Isaac’s aunt was so suspicious about cash received from him that she returned it to the Government.

Giving details about a fraudulent transfer he made out of the Government account of $330,000 in June 2003, Isaac said this went to a company called Bermuda International Shippers owned by his aunt Patricia Stovell.

He agreed with Assistant District Attorney Nicholas Goldin that when his aunt got this money she became concerned about it. He confirmed Ms Stovell sent $300,000 back to the Government Bank of New York account it came from.

She spent the rest on equipment for the Government that Isaac admitted taking for his own personal use.

Turning to the alleged involvement of Thompkins in receiving stolen funds, Mr. Goldin asked: “How many times did the defendant insist on sending any money she got back to the Bank of New York account?”

Isaac replied: “None.”
