The $1.16 million Adams allegedly embezzled includes about $274,000 from Houston, where Adams served as treasurer from October 2015 to November 2018. Until he resigned after being placed on administrative leave, prosecutors say Adams had “administrative access to the City’s accounting records and software.”
The bulk of the stolen funds — $887,500 — came from the second employer Adams allegedly targeted, a Wasilla-based equipment company where he worked from November 2019 to March 2022. According to the indictment, Adams sent 158 payments from the company’s account to three of his own accounts during that time.
