A 52-year-old woman has been sentenced to 23 months in federal prison for embezzling nearly $1 million from an HVAC company, announced U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani. Sonia Yvonne Rodriguez, who pleaded guilty to wire fraud on August 15, admitted to stealing $938,387.26 in business funds designated for federal tax payments between 2015 and 2020. U.S. District Judge Alfred H. Bennett sentenced Rodriguez to prison time, followed by one year of supervised release.
"If she wrote a check to herself, let’s say that check was $8,000, within a week, that $8,000 was gone," Tipton added. "I said, why, why would you do this to us? We would've given you the shirt off our back. Why would you do that? She said, "well, the devil made me do it." As a result of the theft, the Tiptons now face a substantial tax bill, with over a million dollars in back taxes owed.
