Ex-Microsoft exec indicted
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
A former manager of Microsoft's Internet domain names has been indicted on charges that she cheated the company out of more than $1 million by artificially inflating her expense reports and doctoring receipts.
Carolyn Gudmundson, 44, of Kirkland is expected to plead not guilty to the charges at an arraignment next week, said her lawyer, C. James Frush. He disputed the government's characterization of the amount of money in question, citing figures closer to $400,000 or $500,000.
"We're still investigating the allegations and attempting to reconstruct what happened in a very complicated situation," Frush said after Gudmundson made her initial appearance Friday in U.S. District Court in Seattle.
