Curtis D. Anderson, who over 30 years worked his way up from bookkeeper to director of finances at Kappa Alpha Psi, one of the nation’s largest and most influential Black college fraternities, pleaded guilty Tuesday to stealing nearly $3 million from the organization.

Anderson, 59 of Claymont, Del., said little during the hearing before U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Savage, but he previously told investigators he stole the money to fund a gambling habit at a time when he was struggling with alcohol addiction.

Prosecutors said Anderson began stealing from the fraternity in June 2012 using checks he either made out to himself or others whose signatures he forged and exchanging them for cash. Santander Bank flagged the unusual transactions and alerted the fraternity in 2018.

In all, Anderson cashed 78 fraudulent checks at Santander Bank and 40 at Wells Fargo Bank, Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary Crawley told the judge.
