Woman Transfered $451K From Employer To Self In 398 Transactions: Bergen County Prosecutor

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — A woman made 398 Zelle money transfers from her Bergen County employer to herself over two years, totalling more than $451,000 in theft, said Bergen County prosecutors.

Elena Currie of Hackensack was charged Thursday with second-degree theft, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors said that in April 2024, their Financial Crimes Unit was notified of an alleged theft of money from a Bergen County business and began an investigation.

They determined that Currie had transfered the money from a business bank account to her personal bank account.

She was arrested Thursday in Paramus and released to await a first appearance in Bergen County Superior Court in Hackensack, prosecutors said.
