Former Camden National employee sued
A former Camden National Bank employee is facing two lawsuits for her alleged involvement in a scam that affected as much as $850,000 in bank transactions.
Camden National has filed a lawsuit against Christina Torres-York and placed a $750,000 lien on her property in relation to a series of unauthorized transactions under investigation by the FBI, according to the Herald Gazette. The lien, filed in November at the Knox County Registry of Deeds, makes reference to a lawsuit in District Court against Torres-York. The bank announced in October that an employee was responsible for unauthorized transactions involving as much as $850,000, and that the unnamed employee had been identified and fired. The FBI has not commented on the case, and no criminal charges have been filed.
The Maine Contractors and Builders Alliance in Camden has also filed a lawsuit against Torres-York claiming she used her position as the association's treasurer and a bank employee to steal nearly $80,000 from the alliance. The suit, filed Jan. 21 in Knox County Superior Court, alleges Torres-York withdrew money from the association's account at another bank but never deposited it into its account at Camden National, and that she cashed the association's checks made out to Camden National and pocketed the money. Torres-York resigned from the builders alliance in November under threat of removal, according to the paper.
