Meriden Man Sentenced for $600,000 Fraud Scheme
Digby Kerr, 50, of Meriden, has been sentenced to 12 months and one day of imprisonment for his role in a $600,000 fraud scheme.
Between December 2016 and April 2017, Kerr and his company, Transportation Cost Management, LLC (TCM), failed to remit $603,489.30 in payment funds that TCM received from four manufacturers to the trucking companies that transported goods for those victim manufacturers.
Kerr also e-mailed confirmation reports to the victim manufacturers that falsely represented that the manufacturers’ payments had been properly forwarded to the trucking companies.
On March 26, 2018, Kerr pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud.
U.S. District Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer ordered Kerr to pay restitution of $603,489.30 and sentenced him to three years of supervised release following his imprisonment.
Kerr is currently released on a $100,000 bond and is set to report to prison on July 23.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Avi M. Perry.
