Prosecutors said A Florida woman who admitted to receiving fraudulent West Virginia public employee pension benefits has been sentenced. Semiha Nilgun Gencsoy, 71, of Fort Lauderdale, was sentenced to five years of federal probation and ordered to pay nearly $330,000 in restitution for possession of stolen money, according to a press release from the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of West Virginia. Gencsoy pleaded guilty in May, admitting she fraudulently received $328,478.38 in West Virginia public employee pension benefits over a 15-year period. Gencsoy’s father was a mechanical engineering professor at West Virginia University, for which he began receiving West Virginia public employee pension benefits. When Gencsoy’s father died in 2007, her mother began receiving survivor benefits as his widow. The payments were deposited into an account shared by Gencsoy and her mother.
