SKM Recycling Financial Officer Sentenced for Swindling

SEATTLE (Waste 360): Delwyn Burgess, a financial officer for Australia-based SKM Recycling, has been sentenced to six months in prison for siphoning off $168,000 from the company into personal accounts.

In addition to her prison sentence, Burgess has been ordered to do 300 hours worth of community work and will have to go through a community corrections order that will last two years, according to CryptoNewsZ. The report also notes that Burgess had made as many as 98 payments to her personal account but recorded them as payments that had been made to a total of 25 employees at the company.

In July, SKM announced it was in financial crisis and stopped accepting recycled materials from 30 area councils.
