A Palm Beach County resident has been convicted of wire fraud and money laundering in a scheme to steal over $2.7 million from his employer.
Anthony Michael D’Amico, 39, of Boca Raton, Florida, was found guilty by a federal jury on November 8, 2019, of wire fraud and money laundering.
According to the evidence presented at trial, D’Amico improperly accessed his employer’s computer network from approximately September 2017 through January 2018. He logged into the All Web Leads computer system late at night to reroute marketing calls generated by the company to companies paying him directly on the side.
The proprietary information that D’Amico stole would have generated over $2.7 million for the company. Employees of All Web Leads testified that D’Amico’s fraud significantly impacted the performance of the company that year and prevented All Web Leads employees from receiving bonuses.
Banking evidence demonstrated that D’Amico personally received over $1 million, in less than six months, by selling the proprietary information he stole from All Web Leads. He used the criminal proceeds he received from the scheme to buy a luxury automobile and pay a variety of personal expenses.
Sentencing has been scheduled for January 23, 2020, at 9:30 a.m. before Senior Judge James I. Cohn in Fort Lauderdale (Case No. 18cr80179).
