Tony Ream, employed as a credit supervisor at a Long Island medical supplies distributor, was indicted for wire fraud and money laundering. Over four years, he allegedly transferred around $1.6 million from the company's account to a personal account. U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr. emphasized the seriousness of embezzlement, while FBI Assistant Director Raia noted the deception involved in Ream's actions. The case highlights the commitment to prosecuting corporate theft and protecting businesses from internal fraud.
"Embezzling company funds is a serious crime, and my Office will vigorously prosecute this case to ensure Ream is held accountable for his brazen scheme."
"Ream allegedly abused his position and stole from his former company to fund his extravagant expenses. The FBI remains committed to investigating any individual who orchestrates a scheme to exploit their company to finance personal wish lists."
