A man from Davis County, Utah, has admitted in court to embezzling approximately $1.7 million from his employer. Timothy Sean Edgar, aged 44 and residing in Farmington, was charged on March 11, 2025, with wire fraud and money laundering.
Court documents reveal that Edgar's fraudulent activities began in 2021 and continued until October 2024. He executed his scheme by opening a sales channel through a popular online marketplace using his employment credentials. This allowed him to access the vendor portal and redirect Automated Clearing House payments into his personal bank account. To cover up the thefts, Edgar made payments back to his employer using his personal credit card. In total, he embezzled approximately $1,778,251.
Edgar is set for sentencing on August 7, 2025, at the Orrin G. Hatch United States District Courthouse in Salt Lake City before a U.S. District Court Judge.
The announcement was made by Acting United States Attorney Felice John Viti of the District of Utah.
The investigation is being conducted by the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI), FBI Salt Lake City Field Office, and North Salt Lake City Police Department.
Assistant United States Attorneys Mark E. Woolf and Jacob J. Strain are handling the prosecution for this case.
