HONOLULU (AP) — The former CEO of Certified Hawaii, now known as Associa Hawaii has been sentenced to one year in prison for stealing from multiple condominium associations in Oahu.
Toni Ann Floerke was sentenced Tuesday. She had previously pleaded no contest in August to more than a dozen counts of theft, KHON-TV reported (https://bit.ly/1KEA40g).
Floerke has been accused of creating and using false documents to steal more than $126,000 from apartment owners for personal use. The thefts from three different condo associations occurred from 2003 to 2012.
“She was the leader of the company and she took advantage of her position of trust and did it for her own gain, so in our view, sentence of probation, letting her walk out of here sends the wrong message,” said deputy prosecutor Chris Van Marter.
Floerke apologized for her actions in court Tuesday.
“I am extremely embarrassed and humiliated by my lack of judgment during this time,” said Floerke. “I am very sorry for what I’ve done and I’ve never said that I’m not responsible.”
Floerke has also been sentenced to four years of probation and must pay $134,000 in restitution. She will start serving her one-year sentence in July, after her son graduates from high school.
