Vincent Villarreal, a 35-year-old resident of Sachse, Texas, has been sentenced to 33 months in prison for wire fraud. The sentencing was delivered by United States District Judge Jennifer P. Wilson on May 7, 2025. Along with the prison term, Villarreal is required to pay restitution.
Acting U.S. Attorney John C. Gurganus reported that Villarreal confessed to embezzling approximately $475,000 from a building-products company located in central Pennsylvania. During his employment as an information technology professional at the company, he conducted unauthorized credit card transfers and manipulated the company's accounting system to erase records of these transactions.
After being terminated from his first job, Villarreal secured another position in information technology at a software company. There, he illicitly purchased technology products valued at over $470,000 for personal use.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted the investigation into this case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Carlo D. Marchioli handled the prosecution.
