Beginning on or about Sept. 27, 2005, and continuing thereafter until on or about Oct. 27, 2005, in the Southern District of Ohio, Edmonds, an IRS employee, embezzled taxpayers' payments to the IRS in various amounts which she "kited" through 50 or more transactions over approximately one month until a loss in the amount of $3,915.04 was realized, according to the indictment.
