Philip Dallmann, 34, a former executive director of a children’s not-for-profit organization in New York City, has been arrested and charged with embezzling nearly $100,000 from the organization between 2018 and 2021.
According to a complaint unsealed in Manhattan federal court, Dallmann began embezzling funds from the organization’s bank account for unauthorized personal expenses in 2018. He continued to embezzle funds even after the organization switched banks in 2019, eventually stealing a total of approximately $98,000.
While serving as the executive director, Dallmann married a teacher at the not-for-profit organization. He allegedly used his wife’s credit cards to make unauthorized transactions, totaling more than $143,000.
Dallmann claimed that he had used his wife’s credit cards to cover operational expenses for the not-for-profit organization. He then impersonated the organization’s treasurer by email to negotiate repayments by the organization to his wife. Based on Dallmann’s representations, the organization entered into a contract to pay Dallmann’s wife $30,000.
The investigation revealed that Dallmann made hundreds of unauthorized personal transactions using the not-for-profit organization’s bank accounts, including payments for pet grooming, food delivery, restaurants, groceries, alcohol, clothing, shoes, transportation, ESPN Plus and Netflix subscriptions, Amazon orders, and wedding photography services.
Dallmann is charged with one count of wire fraud, which carries a maximum potential sentence of 20 years in prison, one count of access device fraud, which carries a maximum potential sentence of 15 years in prison, and one count of aggravated identity theft, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of two years in prison, consecutive to any other sentence imposed.
