Leroy Township, OH – Jeffrey A. Boring, 50, has been sentenced to 71 months in federal prison for a fraudulent scheme that bilked The Fowler Company out of nearly $1 million.
Boring, who pleaded guilty to two counts of mail fraud, was employed as a project manager at The Fowler Company when he concocted the schemes. After being terminated from his position, Boring continued his deceptive activities while working for ESI, Inc.
U.S. Attorney Steven M. Dettelbach highlighted the severity of Boring’s actions, stating, ‘With six years in federal prison and nearly a million reasons to reconsider his path, Mr. Boring will now learn that crime does not pay.’
Boring’s sentence was enhanced after he altered documents intended for use in his defense during trial. The court ordered him to pay $978,810 in restitution to The Fowler Company.
Prosecutors revealed that from June 2006 to January 2011, Boring used a company he founded, Fairport Industrial Group, to create fraudulent invoices. He also directed vendors to bill The Fowler Company for materials and services intended for his personal use.
After joining ESI, Inc., in August 2011, Boring continued his fraudulent activities by approving purchase orders and invoices for products he needed for contracts through Fairport Industrial Group with the Defense Logistics Agency. These actions cost ESI over $400,000.
This case was investigated by Special Agent Russell G. Csaszar of the FBI and Special Agent Brandee Kemer of the Office of Inspector General, Defense Criminal Investigation Service. Assistant United States Attorneys Henry F. DeBaggis and Mark S. Bennett prosecuted the case.
