Here's the NYT article and the accompanying FR thread on this matter:

The WCBSTV article says Rosen and Auelenbach were "charged" with various felonies yesterday. According to the NYT, however,

Yesterday, Charles Rosen, 63, the executive director of Gloria Wise from 1993 to 2005, and Jeffrey Aulenbach, 46, the former deputy director for operations at the charity, pleaded guilty in State Supreme Court in the Bronx to grand larceny and obstruction of government administration.

and

Mr. Rosen and Mr. Aulenbach agreed to make restitution of $38,575 and $32,363, respectively, and to pay a $5,000 fine each, according to the state attorney general’s office, which prosecuted the case. The plea agreement, entered before Justice John N. Byrne, bars them from working at a nonprofit group for three years.

If the NYT account is right, they aren't doing any jail time at all for this massive fraud and each is paying fines and restitution of less than half the amount he stole. The DemonRats really do a great job of taking care of their own. This same kind of thing, on a massive scale, is what we'll get if the DemonRats win the '06 election.

"Mr. Rosen and Mr. Aulenbach agreed to make restitution of $38,575 and $32,363, respectively, and to pay a $5,000 fine each, according to the state attorney general’s office . . . "

Since they stole $290,000 for their personal use alone, the result of their crime is that they turned a tidy profit of about $209,000, for which they received no jail time. This is a travesty of justice.
