Бывший менеджер CVR Industries обвиняется в хищении более 300 тысяч долларов

Former CVR Industries manager charged with misusing more than $300K in company funds PEMBINA COUNTY, N.D. (Valley News Live) - A former administrative manager at CVR Industries in Neche is accused of misusing more than $300,000 in company funds over several years. Special Agent Scott Kraft with the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation said he was called in May 4 by the Pembina County Sheriff’s Office after the business owner reported suspicious spending on a company credit card. Documents say a forensic audit of CVR’s accounts allegedly found unauthorized charges dating back to 2019, some made directly on the card and others through PayPal after the card was linked to the suspect’s personal account. The affidavit identifies the suspect as 52-year-old Kristi Lynn Sharp, who was fired April 23. Investigators say the audit also found payroll taxes were not submitted to the IRS from 2024 to 2026, and money withheld for employees’ IRA accounts was not remitted, which could expose the company to federal penalties. Kraft wrote that when he interviewed Sharp on May 29, she did not deny using the company card for personal purchases and later contacted the business to propose a repayment plan. The affidavit says the alleged losses from credit card charges alone total more than $300,000, with an additional $1,234.61 in duplicate payroll checks issued to Sharp. Sharp is charged with misapplication of entrusted property over $50,000, a Class A felony under North Dakota law. Copyright 2026 KVLY. All rights reserved.
