A worker for Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan is accused of stealing millions of dollars from the hospital by ordering toner-ink cartridges in bulk and selling it elsewhere.
Marque Gumbs was arraigned Wednesday on a grand larceny charge in excess of $1 million and ordered held on $100,000 bail. The criminal complaint said he worked as a receiving clerk at the hospital responsible for ordering, receiving and stocking ink cartridges for the hospital's printers.
The Wall Street Journal says the 32-year-old office worker intercepted the deliveries so he could sell the toner elsewhere.
The hospital says Gumbs has been "terminated.''
The journal said his lawyer did not respond to a request for comment.
