Defendant Pleads Guilty to Defrauding FedEx

Memphis, TN – A former government sales representative at FedEx Corporation has pled guilty to defrauding the company of nearly half-a-million dollars during a two-year scheme.

A former government sales representative at FedEx Corporation has pled guilty to defrauding the company of nearly half-a-million dollars during a two-year scheme. Anthony Caruso, 48, used his New Jersey-based shipping and logistics company, CSA Group, to execute a re-billing fraud.

Between 2009 and 2011, Caruso used his company to re-bill his customers’ packages to dormant U.S. Department of Defense sub-accounts to take advantage of the larger discount rates. He was able to keep the financial difference between the discount he offered his customers and the government discount he unlawfully accessed.

The government estimated the loss to FedEx at between $200,000 and $400,000. Caruso faces a maximum sentence of up to 20 years in prison on each of the wire fraud counts and 10 years on the access device fraud count. He also faces fines of up to $750,000 and a three-year term of supervised release.

Caruso is scheduled to be sentenced Friday, August 28, 2015, at 9:30am before Judge Sheryl H. Lipman. The case was investigated by the U.S. Secret Service. Assistant U.S. Attorney Deb Ireland is representing the government in this case.

Anthony Caruso, the former FedEx employee, pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, one count of wire fraud, and one count of access device fraud. He is currently awaiting sentencing.
