Skoobydum Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Sophia Canahai, the former chief financial officer of the Cantalician Center for Learning, was told by State Supreme Court Justice M. William Boller on Friday that the only reason she wasn't going to jail for her years of embezzlement was because her father News 4 has confirmed that her father is Eddie Abramoski, the well-known former trainer for the Buffalo Bills paid off $222,684 of her thefts. http://bills.football-news-update.com/tag/sophia-canahai/ Maam, you have something on your chin.

Stealing from the developementally disabled. If there was a rubber hose... j/k Her dad sure saved her day. Who knows if she'll learn tho.
Hossage Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 That is a lot of drugs. I assume that is why she stole it.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 I attended Williamsville Schools with Sophie and remember her. Wow. That's almost 14K per year that she was stealing. What a sad story. Her Dad must be heartbroken. How does a family get through something like this? Imagine the impact on her family, her parents, husband, her kids...

Does she even realize what she put her dad through? and the rest of her family as well. Maybe someday it will hit her. well maybe.

Maybe someday it will hit her. well maybe. If you are that messed up I'm not sure you do realize what you r doing to your family, and if you do, you probably sink lower. Look at Art Schlister.
Skoobydum Posted July 17, 2010 Author Posted July 17, 2010 I have no idea why she didn't go to jail. She committed crimes for 14 years, I think she knew what she was doing along the way. It was a premeditated, malicious & she took away money to be used to help mentally challenged kids. Fry her in oil would be my verdict + 20 years in jail.

This wasn't a case of a person desperate for money because of drug issues or crushing financial stress. This was a case of a cold and calculating person who thought she had developed a "system" to regularly siphon off funds from the most vulnerable. Violating the trust of nuns and stealing from the least capable to defend themselves says something about the dark soul and hard heart of Sophie. Whether she stole a quarter of a million dollars or $10 dollars, the ignominious nature of the crime is still the same. I agree with you that it is sad and unfair that her shame will inevitably spill over to the rest of her family circle. I do believe in redemption. But this is a tough situation to be charitable toward this very calculating thief. She has a lot of work to do to cleanse her very soiled soul. San Jose, you make a very powerful point that the parents are very much affected by the acts of their offspring. Because of this dreadful case they will never be the same. The pain and guilt will follow them to their grave. That is a shame.
Just Jack Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 She doesn't look so well herself I guess we know she got her looks from her father.
jabtot Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Good thing she was not convicted in Genesee County or one of the other "Mayberry RFD" courts. They would have given her the chair. Would have only let her off without time if SHE had paid back the money. If I were the judge I would have at least made her pay back Abe as a punisment. Poor Eddie...has to use his retirement/pension money to keep is doper daughter out of the pokey.
thebug Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 She doesn't look so well herself Clearly she was stealing the money for food.

Skoobydum Posted July 18, 2010 Author Posted July 18, 2010 She still should have been locked-up. 20+ Years in my mind, about a year for every year she stole.

KD in CA Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 I have no idea why she didn't go to jail. The judge was pretty clear on that: “The only reason I’m giving you probation is because you paid full restitution,” In most embezzlement cases, the majority of the money is gone. In this instance, maybe the judge decided the best way to help disabled kids was recovering the money rather than putting the perp in jail. Her father was under no obligation to pony up the cash, so it was either one or the other.

There should be consequences for her actions.
