Jeremy Winter, a branch manager at TD Bank in Larchmont, was arrested for allegedly stealing $739,000Â from clients. Winter, a Ridgefield, Conn. resident, allegedly began making large transfers in February 2012 from several customers’ accounts into a personal account and into a relative’s account, managing to pilfer $739,000 from TD Bank clients.
On March 1, Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore announced that Winter was charged with three counts of grand larceny, one count of forgery, one count of falsifying business records, and one count of scheme to defraud, all felonies.
Winter was employed at TD Bank at 107 Chatsworth Ave. in Larchmont.
The district attorney’s office said the money Winter stole was used to pay off personal loans and contractors he had hired to do home improvements. Winter managed to avoid detection initially because he would allegedly “rob Peter to pay Paul,” taking money from a new victim”™s account and putting it into an older victim’s account.
Bail was set at $100,000 and Winter is scheduled to appear back in court May 14 in Westchester County Court. He faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in state prison.
