Chelsea Accountant Allegedly Stole $1.5 Million From 'Law and Order' Actress - DNAinfo.com: "An accountant who allegedly invested in 'Spring Awakening' and the 'Legally Blonde' musical with stolen funds was indicted on charges he allegedly stole almost $1.5 million from a 'Law and Order' actress who was his client, prosecutors said Thursday.
Joseph Cilibrasi, 50, routinely stole from Tamara Tunie, prosecutors said, who plays a medical examiner on the hit 'Law and Order: SVU' series and has been on the show for a decade.
While working as the actress' business manager since the early 1990s, Cilibrasi was responsible for preparing her tax returns and paying her professional and personal bills, according to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.
But he began defrauding her in 2003 by falsely endorsing checks from her accounts to his own, prosecutors said. He allegedly converted about $400,000 of the sum he stole from her into cash, which he used to invest in various projects.

He also opened credit accounts in her name and gave himself authority to use her cards. He even falsely claimed he was her husband in order to gain access, prosecutors said."
