The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland charged a treasurer who works for several political candidates and organizations, in connection with an embezzlement scheme. The 58-year-old Annapolis man is charged with wire fraud and money laundering. The indictment alleges that, in 2024, he stole approximately $100,000 from a Maryland State Delegate’s campaign accounts and embezzled an additional $100,000 from an Anne Arundel County community organization.

According to the US Attorney's Office, the treasurer emailed a bank about a refinancing loan for a yacht. He submitted false and fraudulent information about his assets to the bank. He also prepared, signed, and submitted a false and fraudulent campaign report to the Maryland Board of Elections.
