Prison for sushi embezzle

A sex-crazed former bookkeeper for one of the city’s swankiest sushi joints is going to prison for a year for admittedly embezzling almost $100,000 — and blowing half the money on adult Web sites.

Rafael Thomas stole from Time Warner Center’s Masa restaurant over the course of a year by cashing corporate checks and giving himself unauthorized vacation pay — and an $18,000 raise.

He pleaded guilty yesterday to attempted grand larceny and falsifying business records before Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Ronald Zweibel.

The judge said he would have preferred Thomas get more time than the plea deal he had reached with prosecutors called for.

“I would have liked a more enhanced sentence,” he told Thomas.

Under yesterday’s deal, a judgment was entered against Thomas for just over $100,000, a sum that includes surcharges and penalties.
