Prosecutors say a one-time Manhattan college staffer convicted of ripping off his former employer raised money to repay the school by roping investors into funding a fictitious online fitness magazine.

Mark Andrew Moore was to be arraigned Thursday on charges including grand larceny and tax fraud. His lawyer's name wasn't immediately available, and no telephone number could be found for his Manhattan home.

Manhattan prosecutors say the 40-year-old lured dozens of people into putting up a total of $365,000 to launch an online personal fitness forum but created only a skeletal Web site.

Prosecutors say he used $15,000 to pay restitution from a 2000 grand larceny conviction for stealing from Hunter College. The college had no immediate information about that case.
