A former account manager at a Beverly Hills business management firm, Frank Musoke, 38, is charged with embezzling over $2 million from a celebrity client. The crime occurred between December 2019 and June 2023, when Musoke was working at the firm, managing the financial affairs of high-net-worth celebrities. The victim, a well-known television host and producer, had been a client of the firm for nearly 20 years and had entrusted Musoke with full access to his financial accounts.
Musoke allegedly used the victim’s debit cards to withdraw over $1.7 million at ATMs, spend over $165,000 on Amazon purchases, and incur over $191,000 in personal travel expenses. He also spent over $160,000 on other personal expenses, totaling over $2 million in embezzled funds. The firm terminated Musoke in July 2023, after the fraud was discovered.
Musoke is charged with five counts of wire fraud and three counts of tax evasion. He is believed to have fled to Uganda, where he has dual citizenship with the United States. The case is being handled by the US Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California.
The indictment alleges that Musoke filed false federal income tax returns from May 2021 to May 2023, further complicating his legal troubles. The investigation and prosecution of this case demonstrate the commitment of law enforcement agencies to holding individuals accountable for financial crimes, particularly those that involve a breach of trust and fiduciary duty.
