According to the Article
A retired NYPD Sergeant who went into the money transfer industry pleaded guilty yesterday to multiple counts of bank and wire fraud. Robert Egan, 65, of Bedford, admitted to stealing $50 million from various banks who used his company, Mt. Vernon Money Centers, to stock ATM’s with cash.
