SAN FRANCISCO — A former Symantec Corp. marketing director was sentenced to three years in prison on Wednesday for embezzling more than $1 million from the Mountain View-based software company.
Lena Jacobs Coombs, 48, pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud in December. She admitted to spending the money on a trip to Hawaii, a 2012 trip to Indianapolis for the Super Bowl and on a home remodel. She also used the stolen funds to make car payments and pay for a nanny. “In other words,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Fazioli wrote in a sentencing memorandum, “the defendant embezzled for luxuries as opposed to necessities.”
