Burger King exec gets 37 months
The Cincinnati Enquirer
A former Burger King boss was sentenced Friday to 37 months in prison for leading a scheme to steal more than $1.3 million from his company.
Angelo DeSimone, 48, formerly of Northern Kentucky, was also ordered to pay more than $370,000 in restitution, according to U.S. Attorney Gregory Lockhart.
DeSimone, now of Tampa, Fla., pleaded guilty a year ago to leading the five-year scheme against his employer, RAC Inc., which owned as many as eight Burger King restaurants in Greater Cincinnati. DeSimone admitted he deposited 101 rebate checks totaling $442,387 into his personal account.
He also admitted that he caused at least $882,000 to be skimmed from restaurant sales.
