NY Accountant Admits Swindle

Henry Diehm, 65, appeared before Rensselaer County Judge Debra Young and pleaded guilty to third-degree grand larceny. Diehm handled the books for Curtis Printing on Columbia Turnpike (East Greenbush, NY) for 15 years until he was arrested in April 2012.

If he pays full restitution to business owner Richard Lieberman by the Aug. 19 sentencing date, Diehm will receive five years' probation. If not, he faces a six-month jail term and five years' probation, District Attorney Richard McNally said.
