Corpus Christi Man Indicted for Wire Fraud Scheme

A federal grand jury in New Orleans has indicted a 43-year-old Corpus Christi man for his alleged role in a $414,982 wire fraud scheme that spanned from 2007 to 2014.

Marc Jesse Estes, the former Executive Vice President of Texas Steam & Instrumentation Company, a corporation related to Louisiana Steam Equipment Company, is charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and 11 counts of wire fraud.

According to the indictment, Estes joined with two Texas companies to defraud Texas Steam through a scheme to have the company pay false invoices generated by the two Texas companies. The Texas companies then kicked back funds to Estes by paying for fraudulent invoices from Industrial Sales, a company operated by Estes.

The scheme, which was allegedly orchestrated by Estes, also involved another company he owned and operated, Tru-Line Builders, to pass fraudulent invoices through Texas Steam.

Estes faces a possible maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine on each count if convicted. U. S. Attorney Duane A. Evans reiterated that the indictment is merely a charge and that the guilt of the defendant must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

The ongoing investigation is being conducted by Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with Assistant United States Attorney Patrice Harris Sullivan leading the prosecution.

The scheme, which was allegedly carried out over seven years, resulted in a loss of approximately $414,982 to Texas Steam and Louisiana Steam.

Estes is currently at large and a warrant has been issued for his arrest. The public is urged to contact the FBI if they have any information about Estes’ whereabouts.
