Throwing a promising career with NFCU and your life away for a meager $30k…so sad.

I have banked with NFCU for nearly 4 decades, since I was a teen. This article appeared on my google news feed. I appreciate the reporting by NorthEscambia and I appreciate the comments by so many people who actually knew and/or worked with the accused. I am thankful that he was caught and I assume NFCU made sure the customers who lost their money got it back. I hope the investigation nets his accomplices. It is so important that those who defraud others through criminal means are processed through a rigorous and fair criminal justice system. Only then can their return to humanity begin and their wounds begin to heal.

In this age of digital checks and balances, armed robbery is more likely to succeed.

I bet my ex-wife, who works for Navy Federal is going to get caught for her fraudulent activities in the very near future.. She’s been under investigation for over a year now. Yep, even HR employees are subject to integrity issues.

I’ve known this guy for close to 7 years now and this is surprising but also not. Standout UWF football player, had everything going for himself. On the flip side- he always had a sneaky demeanor about himself and never allowed for people that could see through his close. He was very flashy and wanted everyone to see his expensive lifestyle and how much money he had. It makes sense. Prayers for his sanity and safety but nobody gets away with wrong doing. Especially doing wrong by people and THEIR money.

It easy to say that grace should be extended in unfortunate situations like this, but at some point, grace runs out.

I was shocked by this because I know him and despite what people think he wasn’t like
This I think that sometimes fast money is a down fall like police or prison guards or even some politicians that go bad. So before you judge just know that anyone can be in a similar situation and can fall. Plus I know that the certain credit union is well known. So the others that have commented he worked for that same credit union.
He was wrong in doing what he done but pray for him don’t judge him.

First of all – this “honest employee” wasn’t honest. You don’t just “turn bad” if you are truly an honest person. He’s a despicable thief who deserves to spend a few years in jail at the minimum! He gets no sympathy from me. I work for NFCU and have for many years. They take care of their own and do a great job at it. It’s a shame that this scum got though the hiring process – but it happens in all businesses.
Good Luck Mr. Coleman – I hope ALL 38 members stand up in court and help prosecute you! You’re where you belong!

There is absolutely no possible way that during the investigation, all puzzle pieces would not lead back to the insider participant. The investigation may take time, but there is no way the insider can mask the trail that leads directly back to them. This shows how ignorant people motivated by greed can be.
