Timothy Siverd, a 37-year-old resident of Webster, New York, has entered a guilty plea to charges of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo. These charges could result in a maximum sentence of 22 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicholas M. Testani, who is managing the case, explained that between November 2022 and September 19, 2024, Siverd managed ROC Scrubby LLC, a cleaning services company for both residential and commercial clients. During this period, Siverd engaged in fraudulent activities by overbilling clients for services not rendered. He manipulated the company's booking software to alter appointments without client consent to increase billing amounts while employees did not perform the additional services billed. Furthermore, he unlawfully used client credit card information to carry out these overbillings.
At the time of committing these offenses, Siverd was on supervised release due to his involvement in another financial fraud scheme. In April 2024, he had pleaded guilty to federal wire fraud related to that separate scheme and is currently awaiting sentencing.
The investigation leading to Siverd's plea was conducted by Homeland Security Investigations under Special Agent-in-Charge Erin Keegan and the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office led by Sheriff Todd Baxter.
