Convicted former NCB manager ordered to repay close to $120 million
KINGSTON, Jamaica – Former senior manager at the National Commercial Bank, Andrea Gordon, who was convicted of swindling $34 million from the financial institution and was sentenced to seven and a half years in 2021, has been ordered to repay close to $120 million.
On Wednesday, the Financial Investigations Division (FID) was successful in the Supreme Court in securing a Forfeiture Order of $119.1 million against Gordon.
Investigators revealed that based on assessment, Gordon’s criminal benefits amounted to just under $200 million. However, through her attorney, Gordon admitted to swindling $119 million through her illegal activities.
The money was stolen between January 1, 2017, and May 30, 2020.

In addition to the $119 million, Gordon was also ordered to pay $720,000 as well as the legal costs for the bank and the Crown.
Her Havendale property will also be placed on the market. Proceeds from the sale will be turned over to NCB.
In 2021, Gordon was sentenced to seven years and six months in prison after she was convicted on three counts of ‘access with intent to commit an offense’ (Cybercrime Act), three counts of ‘larceny as a servant’ (Larceny Act), seven counts of money laundering and engaging in a transaction involving criminal property’ (Proceeds of Crime Act).
