WILLIMANTIC, CT - May 09, 2012 Project Genesis was advised today that its former Chief Financial Officer, William Lavimoniere, has pled guilty for various financial crimes. Sadly, Project Genesis was the victim of his wrongdoing.

During the course of its annual audit last fall, Project Genesis discovered certain inconsistencies in its accounting records, which required further inquiry. After performing an analysis of these transactions, Project Genesis promptly ended the Chief Financial Officer's employment and notified the authorities. Project Genesis has fully assisted and cooperated with the Department of Justice's investigation and prosecution.

Despite this unfortunate set of circumstances, Project Genesis has been made whole through insurance coverage and restitution. As a result, Project Genesis is as strong as ever despite this unfortunate situation, and continues to perform its good work for the many communities and consumers that it proudly serves.
