WTOK ABC 11

ATLANTA (ANF/Gray News) — A former accountant convicted of laundering millions of dollars stolen from Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta has been sentenced.

Federal prosecutors say Ronald Deabler will spend four years in prison after being found guilty of conspiring to launder $5.3 million stolen from the healthcare system in 2023.

Deabler, 66, of Atlanta, was sentenced Wednesday to four years in prison followed by two years of supervised release, and ordered to pay $682,860 in restitution, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia.

“Deabler used his knowledge of the banking system to launder millions of dollars stolen from a not-for-profit pediatric healthcare system that is dedicated to the welfare of Georgia’s infants, children, and teens,” U.S. Attorney Theodore Hertzberg said.
