Today, at the federal courthouse in Central Islip, Tony Ream, a former credit supervisor for a Long Island Company, pleaded guilty to wire fraud. Over four years, Ream stole approximately $1.6 million from the company’s bank accounts and funneled the funds into his personal account.
The scheme involved sending wire transfers from October 2020 through November 2024, masking the theft by recording each transaction as a customer refund. Ream’s actions were facilitated by his subordinates, who he deceived into aiding him in the embezzlement.
Ream used the stolen money to fund a lavish lifestyle, including paying for his wedding, international travel, and renovations to a restaurant he opened in South Carolina. He faces up to 20 years’ imprisonment when sentenced.
United States Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr. and Assistant Director Christopher G. Raia of the FBI’s New York Field Office announced Ream’s guilty plea. “Ream betrayed his employer and customers for personal gain,” said Nocella, who thanked the diligent efforts of their office and the FBI in bringing Ream to justice.
The Company, a distributor of health care products and services based in Melville, New York, is the world’s largest provider of healthcare solutions. As part of his plea deal, Ream has agreed to make full restitution to the company. The case is being handled by Assistant United States Attorney Charles P. Kelly.
