Microsoft manager arrested
Former Microsoft manager facing trial for billing fraud
Former Microsoft Program Manager Carolyn Gudmundson has been charged with 11 counts of wire fraud and seven counts of mail fraud related to a complex reimbursement scheme she had set up, resulting in her making almost $1 million in fraudulent funds.
During her time as Program Manager for Microsoft's MSN Division, Gudmundson was responsible for the registration and maintenance of domain names for both Microsoft and travel site Expedia. According to the US Attorney's Office for the Western District of Washington, Gudmundson had a three-part scheme in order to defraud Microsoft. Since she was authorized to use her personal credit card to pay for Microsoft's domain names and submit requests for reimbursement from the company, she altered receipts to show higher prices than what she had actually paid and included those in her expense reports. Gudmundson also submitted invoices to Expedia for domains that had already been paid for through an agreement between Microsoft and Expedia.
