A 43-year-old Ladera Ranch woman pleaded guilty Monday to embezzling about $56,000 from an Orange County-based property management company and was placed on two years of formal probation.
Lauren Rodgers Goldman pleaded guilty to five counts of grand theft and a count of making false entries in records or returns, all felonies.
Orange County sheriff’s investigator Daniel Foster said in court papers that a complaint was made in May of 2020 that the money was embezzled from Mooschekian Management.
Goldman wrote 70 fraudulent checks from five separate accounts to embezzle $56,712.13 from Nov. 28, 2017, through March 19, 2020, Foster said.
