SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Carol Aranjo was convicted on 42 criminal counts including embezzlement of $1.5 million, bank fraud and filing false tax returns, according to The Republican, a local newspaper that covered the trial extensively. She was acquitted on three counts.

D. Edward Wells Federal Credit Union was a community CU chartered in 1959 to serve the poor and bring mainline financial services to an underserved market.
