Brevard Couple Charged With $1 Million Embezzlement Scheme

A paralegal and her husband have been arrested for allegedly embezzling nearly $1 million from the Brevard County law firm where she worked. Donna Waterman and Oliver Waterman were caught after fraudulent transactions were discovered on the firm’s bank statements. Over four years, the couple transferred funds to their PayPal accounts, using the money for cruises and gambling. The scheme was exposed when detectives traced the transactions back to Oliver Waterman’s PayPal account. Both are now facing multiple charges and are behind bars in the Brevard County Jail.
