Karen Schenck, the former president/CEO of the $4.6 million Corry Area Federal Credit Union in Corry, Pa., pleaded guilty to embezzlement. She was sentenced in May to two years in prison, and five years of supervised release. Schenck was also ordered to pay $741,362 in restitution.

Blageo, the former president/CEO of the $2.5 million Eaton Employees Credit Union in Eden Prairie, Minn., consented to a prohibition order and agreed to comply with all of its terms to settle the NCUA's claims against her, which were not specified by the federal agency.
