What is is about Maryland these days? We seem to be seeing an unusual number of embezzlement matters there.
Our next "subject" is Cherie Shreve, who sometimes goes by Cherie Tracy-Shreve. Interestingly, it appears that she knows another Maryland embezzler, Kristi Heffington (read about Kristi HERE).
