NEW YORK — A former New York City hospital worker who admitted embezzling $1.2 million from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center by ordering printer toner, stealing it and then reselling it has been sentenced to 7 1/2 years in prison.
In a deal with prosecutors, Marque Gumbs pleaded guilty in July to grand larceny.
As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors recommended a sentence of 2 1/2 to 7 1/2 years in state prison. Gumbs could have received up to 25 years in prison if he’d been convicted at trial.
Gumbs was sentenced on Monday.
