A shocking case of betrayal has come to light in Greenwich, Connecticut, where Georges Avridor, a 42-year-old resident of Greenwich and Stamford, has pleaded guilty to stealing a staggering $889,425 from two individuals who employed him as a driver.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Avridor stole personal bank checks from his employers between July 2013 and October 2016. He then made the checks payable either to ‘Cash’ or to himself for various amounts of money, forged the signature of one of his employers, and cashed the checks at a bank or had the proceeds deposited into a bank account that he controlled.
As a result of his scheme, Avridor faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 30 years. A sentencing date has not been scheduled.
Avridor was arrested on June 30, 2017, and is currently released on a $50,000 bond pending sentencing.
The matter has been investigated by the Greenwich Police Department, U.S. Secret Service, and Connecticut Financial Crimes Task Force. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Ray Miller.
