Jail trip for travel gal 2011/03/30 at 7:22 am
A purple-haired travel agent was sent sobbing to prison yesterday for admittedly billing American Express for $35 million in fictitious travel — but not before blaming her thefts on an undiagnosed sleeping disorder.
This was a monumental lapse of judgment on my part, Victoria Wofford, 54, said of bilking AmEx through her corporate travel company, Tri-Pen Management Corp.
Im not even sure what I was thinking at the time, she added. It may have had something to do with the undiagnosed sleep apnea that I apparently suffered from for many, many years.
