The Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office has charged a former accountant for a Richmond paver company with six felonies related to alleged embezzlement, money laundering, identity theft, and tax evasion. Angela Fae Brown, 53, from Olivehurst in Yuba County, was arraigned Tuesday in Contra Costa Superior Court. Prosecutors said that between September 2017 and November 2022, Brown allegedly embezzled more than $800,000 from her employer, Viking Pavers.
Brown allegedly paid these fake invoices with the company's funds through the online payment processing platform, funneling the money into her own account. Brown's employee status - and access to various financial controls - allegedly allowed her to conceal her embezzlement scheme. A company manager eventually suspected Brown's fraudulent actions and confronted her. Richmond police and financial forensics analysts from the DA's office investigated Brown's actions.
