Today, US District Judge Gregory K. Frizzell sentenced Leslie Ann Ameen, 63, of Tulsa, for Wire Fraud. She was ordered to serve 49 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. Judge Frizzell further ordered Ameen to pay $8,293,611 in restitution. According to court documents, Ameen devised a scheme to defraud her employer while employed as a telecommunications specialist at Oklahoma State University Medical Center (OSUMC). For approximately nine years, Ameen arranged for OSUMC to purchase laptops, phones, and tablets from Techsico Enterprises Solutions, LLC. The electronic devices were not sought by OSUMC nor required for operating the medical center. Ameen forged signatures on more than 2,200 invoices emailed to her, absconded, and then sold the devices to fund her gambling addiction.
