Danny Dale Tremble, Embezzlement, North Carolina 2023

A bookkeeper from North Carolina has been sentenced to prison for embezzling over $1.3 million from his employer, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Asheville.

Danny Dale Tremble, 49, of Conover, N.C., was sentenced to 41 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $1,639,659.99.

According to court documents, Tremble embezzled company funds from his employer, Azalea Management and Leasing, Inc., over the course of eight years, from October 2013 to December 2021. He used the stolen funds to pay off personal credit cards, cover personal expenditures, and purchase multiple items, including a camper, a boat, and firearms.

Tremble also failed to report any of the embezzled income on his Joint Individual Income Tax Returns, resulting in a federal tax loss of $288,716.

On February 13, 2023, Tremble pleaded guilty to wire fraud and filing a false tax return.

U.S. Attorney Dena J. King thanked the FBI and IRS-CI for their investigation of the case. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Asheville handled the prosecution.

Tremble is currently released on bond and will be ordered to surrender to the federal Bureau of Prisons upon designation of a federal facility.

The case serves as a reminder of the importance of corporate accountability and the consequences of embezzlement.
