Crime at the Foxwoods Resort Casino:

When the controller of some restaurants and clubs at Foxwoods Resort Casino allegedly stole some $2.5 million in cash deposits, apparently some of the money casino gamblers had spent at the clubs made a circuitous route back to the gaming floor.

The controller and her husband proceeded to lose $1.4 to Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun at the same time the cash deposits went missing, according to federal authorities who secured a grand jury indictment in the case late last year.

The controller, Lynn A. Scheuffler, 34, was the chief financial officer of the Boston-based company that runs the Shrine nightclub at Foxwoods, as well as the Scorpion Bar and High Rollers Lounge.
