University scammed out of $19,000 in fake acquisitions

September 25, 2018

Former Emory University employee Travis Myers and a non-Emory-affiliated friend, Maicah Hendrix, have been arrested and charged with theft and forgery.  According to the school newspaper, The Emory Wheel, officials at the Michael C. Carlos Museum contacted local police when they noticed six suspicious paid invoices to an unrecognized vendor, Masterpiece Art Acquisitions in Atlanta.  The art acquisitions ranged from $250 to $4050 each and were paid through an account that is not regularly monitored by museum officials.   After investigating, the Museum connected Travis Myers, an accounting manager at the museum since 2011, with the crime.  If found guilty, Myers and Hendrix face up to 25 years in prison.
