Authorities say Plano man spent $1.6 million of employer's money on Hooters dinners and other things
A Plano man is being accused of bilking $1.6 million on company credit cards, the U.S. Department of Justice announced in a statement.
According to Jan. 26 indictment records, 45-year-old Steven Duety was indicted by a grand jury on one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and nine other counts of wire fraud.
“It is unacceptable for an employee to steal from his employer,” said acting U.S. Attorney of the Northern District of Texas Prerak Shah. “This defendant’s alleged abuse of his company credit card is wire fraud and the Northern District of Texas will not stand for this sort of misconduct.”
Prosecutors allege that Duety “conspired” and “confederated” with an anonymous individual in defrauding the former’s employer, construction company Builders FirstSource. According to the indictment, Duety was entrusted to oversee the company’s fleet vehicles and handled payments for authorized services such as renewed vehicle registrations.
