HOWARD GREGOR, 52, a resident of Attica, Ohio, is facing serious charges in a case of mail and wire fraud. According to U.S. Attorney Kenneth A. Polite, GREGOR worked for Company A, a New Orleans-based company that manufactures conveyor belts for use in food processing and packaging facilities.
GREGOR was employed as an account manager, and his sales work required him to travel frequently and incur business-related expenses. However, court documents reveal that GREGOR devised a scheme to defraud Company A by creating inflated and fictitious items on his expense reports, causing the company to pay him nearly $300,000 for expenses he did not actually incur.
The scheme involved submitting expense reports via U.S. mail and electronic mail, and in total, GREGOR caused Company A to reimburse him for nearly $300,000 of expenses that he did not actually incur, resulting in a significant loss to the company.
If convicted, GREGOR faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years, followed by five years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000, as to each of the two counts against him.
U.S. Attorney Polite reiterated that the Bill of Information is merely a charge and that the guilt of the defendant must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
Polite praised the work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Postal Inspection Service in investigating this matter. Assistant United States Attorney Sharan Lieberman is in charge of the prosecution.
A Bill of Information was filed against GREGOR, outlining the charges against him. The case highlights the importance of vigilance in preventing and detecting white-collar crimes, and the need for robust investigations to bring perpetrators to justice.
