Ben Thomas III allegedly defrauded Williams-Sonoma of over $10 million by submitting fake invoices from a fictitious company for non-existent work, enriching himself.
Thomas is accused of submitting hundreds of invoices under his $50,000 approval limit, allowing him to make 335 payments totaling $10 million to a controlled bank account.
The indictment highlights Thomas's extravagant spending, including a yacht, luxury automobiles, expensive sporting events, and even pet cloning, supported by the fraudulent funds.
U.S. Attorney Ramsey remarked that the case underscores the commitment to hold individuals accountable who abuse trust in corporate environments, particularly in fraud cases.
