KANSAS CITY —Matthew Johnson, a former Kansas City area credit union employee, received a two-year prison sentence for aggravated identity theft for orchestrating a financial scheme involving Kansas City Chiefs tickets., according to the FBI office in Kansas City.
In his plea deal, Johnson admitted to using his position to misappropriate game tickets and submit fraudulent expense reports.
After the credit union bought tickets, Johnson transferred them into his own ticketing accounts for resell or personal use without his employer’s knowledge or consent, defrauding the credit union of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
