A New York-based chief counsel and compliance officer was charged for embezzling more than $200,000 from the consulting firm he worked for, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office announced.
A New York State Supreme Court indictment charged Tadashi Dumas, of Brooklyn, with one count of grand larceny in the second degree and three counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Jr. announced in a press release Wednesday.
Dumas allegedly abused his position by diverting funds meant for retaining outside counsel to pay for personal expenses, including tuition payments and a self-sponsored magazine article. In another alleged instance, he sent money directly to his own bank account.
