SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 23 – Kenneth Wynder, a
former New York State Trooper
and former president of the
Law Enforcement Employees
Benevolent Association is
charged with defrauding union
members by misappropriating
money from LEEBA’s Annuity
Fund.
On February
23, U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge P. Kevin Castel had
a proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Wynder is
out on bond, and earlier this
year was granted approval to
travel to visit a friend. Now
his case was pushed to
September 23, and time
excluded until then.
SDNY says "From
at least in or about 2012 up
to and including the date of
this Complaint, WYNDER
participated in a scheme to
steal, embezzle, and
misappropriate money from the
Annuity Fund and individual
members’ retirement
accounts.... Throughout the
duration of this scheme,
WYNDER repeatedly made and
approved false and misleading
statements to LEEBA’s members
and prospective members about
how he was purportedly using
and protecting their
retirement accounts and the
LEEBA Annuity Fund."
The case is
US v. Wynder, Jr. et al.,
20-cr-470 (Castel)
