A Fairbanks woman, Angelic Henderson, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Alaska on charges of bank fraud and money laundering. The charges relate to her alleged embezzlement from a business where she worked as a bookkeeper.
Court documents reveal that Henderson, 68, was employed as a bookkeeper for the Fairbanks business starting in 2015. She later became the sole owner of Consulting Medical Services LLC (CMS) and provided independent contractor services to the same business. In July 2020, she established another company, Angels Nesting Business Support Services LLC (ANBSS).
The indictment claims that between August 2019 and August 2023, Henderson and an unnamed co-conspirator engaged in a scheme to divert funds from the victim business into their accounts. This involved creating misleading financial documents and falsifying transfer requests to move money under false pretenses.
Henderson is accused of executing approximately 368 fund transfers over four years, resulting in a loss exceeding $1.8 million for the victimized business. She allegedly transferred these funds through checks into various accounts she controlled and further distributed them to her co-conspirator.
On November 29, Henderson was arrested and faces multiple charges including conspiracy to commit bank fraud and money laundering. Her initial court appearance is scheduled before U.S. Magistrate Judge Scott A. Oravec in Alaska's District Court. If convicted, she could face up to 30 years in prison along with a $1 million fine.
The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney S. Lane Tucker for the District of Alaska and FBI Special Agent Rebecca Day from the Anchorage Field Office. The investigation is being conducted by the FBI with assistance from the Fairbanks Police Department, while Assistant U.S. Attorney Carly Vosacek will prosecute the case.
The indictment serves as an allegation; all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in court.
