A PNC Bank supervisor has been accused of stealing more than $86,000 from the lender and spending the money on gambling, according to the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office.
Jacqueline Clinton, 48, of Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, allegedly misused her position as Bank Reconcilements Operations Supervisor at PNC Bank to make false credit adjustments and direct the money to her personal account, prosecutors said.
Alleged fraudulent adjustments
Prosecutors say Clinton made 10 fraudulent credit adjustments between May and August 2026, pulling a total of $86,107.66 from the bank's Regulation E Disputes General Ledgers. Those ledgers are internal accounting accounts used by banks and other financial institutions to track disputed funds, provisional credits, network chargeback recoveries and fraud losses. Regulation E is a set of rules outlining procedures for how banks and other financial institutions should handle disputes.
The funds were meant to be distributed to client accounts for refunds, credit or deposits, according to the district attorney's office.
Gambling activity alleged
The district attorney's office says Clinton's bank records show ATM withdrawals at casinos and transactions on online gambling sites. Prosecutors also say she made mobile transfers to herself.
Charges and hearing
Clinton faces charges of theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property, access device fraud, misapplication of entrusted property and unlawful use of a computer.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for February 4, 2027.
