During that time, state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said, Bunn collected $7,542 in pension payments and another $17,790 in social security. The payments were deposited electronically in the father’s bank account.
“This case is a warning to anyone attempting to steal state pension funds,” DiNapoli said. “We are tracking you and you will be prosecuted
Bunn, 49, paid full restitution on Tuesday. He pleaded guilty to grand larceny and petit larceny in October.
