A New Jersey woman has been accused of embezzling millions from her employer, the company’s chief financial officer and director of operations.
Amy Aldi, 50, of Wayne, New Jersey, pleaded guilty to wire fraud, a charge that carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000 or twice the gross gain or loss from the offense, whichever is greatest.
The scheme, which took place from January 2018 through December 2020, saw Aldi withdraw cash from the company’s operating account and use it for her own personal benefit. She made over 200 cash withdrawals, ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 per withdrawal, totaling more than $3.7 million.
Aldi concealed the theft by falsifying company accounting and financial records, including making false journal entries and altering bank statements issued to the company for the company’s operating account.
The investigation, led by the FBI, resulted in Aldi’s guilty plea. Sentencing is scheduled for January 10, 2023, when she will face the consequences of her actions.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Blake Coppotelli of the U.S. Attorney’s Office Economic Crimes Unit.
Amy Aldi’s case serves as a reminder of the importance of accountability and the severe consequences of white-collar crimes.
