Pierre, a spokesman for the Attorney General's Office, said that O'Brien, who prepared and documented bill payments for the non-profit organization but did not have signatory power over writing checks, allegedly diverted money from the organization's banking account to his own personal account. Pierre said that the organization had used an American Express corporate credit card to pay various expenses, and that the organization's director became aware of the irregularities when American Express called and notified him that the organization's account would be closed due to missed bill payments...
