December 19, 2022, 12:22 PMA former New York University director of finance was charged Monday with orchestrating a six-year fraud.
Tappe is charged with money laundering, grand larceny, offering a false instrument and falsifying business records."Our multilingual learners and students with disabilities deserve top-notch services, and these funds should have gone directly to their schools," said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Instead, according to the indictment, Tappe arranged for three certified minority- and women-owned business subcontractors to receive the overwhelming majority of the grants. NYU paid the three companies approximately $3.527 million to provide services related to the grants. To justify the payments, the companies submitted fictitious invoices drafted by Tappe and pasted on their letterhead, the indictment said.

What's wrong with your agents. Do a forensic investigation. Jeeze anyone doing their jobs lately. Forgery on Federal funds. Studing about investigations get you next level of knowledge.
I'll take some diverted millions.
Disgusting. She needs to face consequences & people need to be reimbursed for what she stole. But those are a lot of lives that could've been changed but weren't...because this sick woman prioritized her own greed. Can't wait to hear how bigots try to handwave the consequences.
