David Hudson, Defrauding Employer, Michigan 2024

A shocking case of corporate deceit has come to light in New Hudson, Michigan, where David Hudson, a 56-year-old Columbus, Ohio resident, has been sentenced to 63 months in prison for defrauding his employer of over $4 million.

The scheme, which spanned nearly a decade, saw Hudson manipulate the financial systems of his employer, Cummins Bridgeway, LLC, and its parent company, Cummins Inc. By exploiting his position and authority, Hudson was able to siphon off millions of dollars into his own pockets.

Between 2008 and 2017, Hudson’s scheme resulted in the fraudulent transfer of over $4.5 million, which he used to fund a lavish lifestyle. The stolen funds were used to purchase a Cadillac, designer clothing, luxury watches, cigars, and rare wines.

The case was investigated by special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Timothy Wyse. United States Attorney Dawn N. Ison announced the sentencing, joined by Josh Hauxhurst, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Detroit Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Hudson’s crimes were committed while he was employed by Cummins Bridgeway, LLC, from approximately 2003 through 2014, and later by Cummins Inc. The owners of Cummins Bridgeway, LLC established two entities to which CBL profits were paid for the purpose of sharing profits with CBL management and employees.

As part of his job, Hudson had authority to write checks from the profit-sharing entities. However, he used this authority to write checks to himself without authorization, resulting in the fraudulent transfer of millions of dollars.

David Hudson, 56, of Columbus, Ohio, was sentenced to 63 months in prison for defrauding his employer of over $4 million. The crime was committed in New Hudson, Michigan, and the sentencing took place on an unspecified date.
