MANHATTAN CRIMINAL COURT — An employee at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center charged with stealing more than $1 million in ink toner cartridges  has been indicted, prosecutors said Friday.

The $37,000-per-year employee, Marque Gumbs, was working at the East 53rd Street center while allegedly stealing the toner, which he sold on the black market to finance a lavish life.

Between October 2009 and August 2010, Gumbs ordered about $1.2 million worth of toner from Office Depot that was not compatible with printers used at the center, prosecutors said.

Gumbs, 31, reportedly had a BMW car and lived in the Trump Plaza in New Rochelle.

His indictment charges will be unsealed in Manhattan Supreme Court on December 15.
