Brenda Dauner allegedly used her position at Finyl Sales Inc. to steal the money.
An investigation by the Ocala Police Department, which spanned several months and involved thousands of documents from multiple banks, revealed Dauner had written checks to herself totaling $578,545, and had fraudulently charged $33,214 on the company credit card. Additionally, Dauner forged the company president’s signature on checks made out to company vendors, totaling $1,341,978.05.
