NEW YORK - Two workers at the Whitney Museum of American Art who were videotaped pocketing cash from ticket sales were charged with stealing $880,000 over 2 1/2 years, authorities said Thursday.
Nafeem Wahlah, 29, the museum's manager of visitor services, stole $850,000 by voiding ticket sales and keeping the money, said Manhattan district attorney Robert Morgenthau. Investigators found $800,000 in a safe in her Brooklyn home, and she was caught on camera putting cash into her purse, he said.
