State v. Mr. G (DMC No. 15733) – Felony Embezzlement ($500,000), Felony Fraudulent Schemes, and Felony Theft – Not Charged (with Civil Settlement Agreement) – Private Law Firm Investigated

Mr. G was a Senior Director in Association management company for a large nationwide energy association. While he was in that role, he was sometimes allowed to reimburse expenses directly to himself, as long as he recorded the proper entries, including documentation. At some point, he began writing checks to himself from the Association for expenses which were not incurred. Ultimately, the Association conducted an audit, and confronted Mr. G. He denied all knowledge of improper payments. It was at this time he secured the services of DM Cantor.

Ultimately, a Private Law Firm began to investigate the case. Mr. G was terminated from his position, and Criminal Accusations were levied against him. We contacted the Private Law Firm in order to reach a Confidential Settlement Agreement, and they agreed. The total amount of funds, combined with the Private Law Firm’s legal fees, and lost productivity, amounted to $500,000. Per the Settlement Agreement, No Charges were brought against Mr. G, and he has No Criminal Record. Had he been Charged in the State of Arizona (where he resided), he could have spent well over 5 Years in Prison. As it stands now, he has No Criminal History.
