Former Chief Financial Officer Is Sentenced To Prison For Embezzlement Scheme
Between 2018 and 2020, John M. Casper, 60, of Charlotte, misused his position as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to embezzle more than $694,000 from the victim company. Court documents show that Casper executed the embezzlement scheme by conducting approximately 112 unauthorized financial transactions, transferring funds from the victim company’s accounts to bank accounts under Casper’s control. As the victim company’s CFO, Casper used his access to the company’s accounting system to disguise the fraud, by creating fake or incorrect financial entries in the company’s books and records so that the victim company’s books would reconcile.
On September 19, 2023, Casper pleaded guilty to wire fraud. Casper will be ordered to report to a designated United States Bureau of Prisons facility to begin serving his sentence of incarceration.
In making today’s announcement, U.S. Attorney King thanked the FBI in Charlotte for their investigation of the case.
