Longview YMCA sues former bookkeeper who embezzled 500,000

The bookkeeper who embezzled half a million dollars from the Longview YMCA between 2007 and 2012 is facing a lawsuit from the nonprofit.

Tomi Dupper, now 61, pleaded guilty to first-degree theft for stealing cash and taking a loan against her retirement to which she falsified a repayment.

Dupper told police she needed the money to pay bills because she was having financial trouble but intended to repay the YMCA. She’d worked for the YMCA for 23 years.

Dupper was sentenced in April 2014 to two years in prison. She was ordered to pay the YMCA nearly $293,000 at no less than $25 monthly. The restitution amount was based on what Dupper still owed the YMCA after she forfeited her retirement and the agency recovered some money from insurance. Of the $293,000 still owed, Dupper has paid only $350.
