Cindy Tappe, 57, was charged with diverting funds from New York State Education Department grants.
director of finance allegedly siphoned $3.5 million meant for minority and women-owned businesses and blew some of the cash on herself — including on an $80,000 pool for her Connecticut home, prosecutors said Monday.
She allegedly spent the dough on personal expenses, including the pool and renovations on her her home in Westport, Connecticut. In September 2018, an NYU program director confronted Tappe about the payments being made to the supposed subcontractors. In a statement, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg pointed out that, “Instead of going to school districts in need, those funds were used by Tappe to pay her mortgage, build a swimming pool, and live beyond her means.”Steven Hirsch
