A Central New York post office employee has admitted to stealing more than $118,000 from the U.S. Postal Service through a scheme involving fake money orders.
Morrisville postmaster Delos Thurston says he created 179 fraudulent money orders without collecting payment between April 2025 and January 2026, reports Syracuse.com.
The 28-year-old has committed to repaying the full amount stolen from postal operations.
Senior U.S. District Judge Glenn T. Suddaby imposed three years of probation as the sentence following the guilty plea to money order fraud.
Authorities say he worked alone with no accomplices identified in the case.
The U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General investigated the internal theft at the small-town location in Madison County.
The scheme exploited refund processes typically reserved for customers at the facility.
Similar fraud cases involving postal employees issuing unauthorized money orders have appeared in other parts of New York in recent years.
