How cool (not) to work in telecoms
Anthony Armatis, from the city of Palatine, was arrested last Wednesday for illegally receiving electronic checks with a salary at a company he never worked for , his lawyer said.
Spokespersons for Avaya Inc., a telecommunications provider based in Baskin Ridge, found that checks were regularly received in his bank account for five years, according to Somerset County Attorney's Office.
Armatis (34), tried to get a job in this company several years ago, but withdrew his application before it was considered. But as a result of an error in the system, his salary was regularly sent to his bank account from the fall of 2002 until March 2007, when the company finally discovered an error.
During this time, Armatis collected more than $ 469,000 in his account and even withdrew approximately $ 1.900 from the company's pension account managed by the Fidelity Investments fund, lawyers said.
