CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Federal prosecutors say a Charlotte man who was controller and later chief financial officer of a Mint Hill business has admitted to stealing about $4 million from his employer.
The Charlotte Observer reports (https://bit.ly/1h0TBts) 39-year-old Nathan Thomas Mroz pleaded guilty in federal court to mail fraud. Investigators accused Mroz of taking the money over an eight-year period from Andersen Services, a heating and air conditioning company.
According to investigators, Mroz used the money to pay private school tuition for his children, to buy a $20,000 diamond ring and a $20,000 bracelet for his wife, and a $115,000 house for his children’s nanny.
Federal officials say Mroz, who entered his plea on Monday, faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He also was ordered to pay restitution.
