A woman who worked as an accountant for a New Jersey company was sentenced Monday to more than three years in prison and ordered to pay $3.8 million in fines for charging millions in personal expenses on her employer’s credit card.

Jennifer Vandever, 51, of Atco, was also sentenced in federal court in Camden County to three years of supervised release, according to a spokesman for the Internal Revenue Service’s criminal investigations unit.

Vandever was indicted in February 2022 on multiple charges of fraud and tax evasion. She pleaded guilty in September 2023 before federal Judge Karen M. Williams to one count each of wire fraud, income tax evasion, and unauthorized use of an access device.

Vandever remained free Thursday on $100,000 bond and is expected to turn herself into a federal penitentiary in August, according to the IRS spokesman.

Prosecutors have not named the business.
