\"Justice-Depart\"<\/a>DALLAS<\/strong>\u2014A local Certified Public Accountant stole $2.4 million through embezzling from his employer was sentenced to three years in federal prison, \u00a0authorities announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge Barbara M. G. Lynn<\/strong>\u00a0 on Monday also ordered that CPA\u00a0Daniel L. Mangini<\/strong>, 61, of Southlake, Texas, pay $2,4 million in restitution, which includes the victim\u2019s attorney\u2019s fees, investigative costs, and prejudgment interest, federal officials said.<\/p>\n

Mangini remains free but was ordered to report to the Bureau of Prisons by May 5.<\/p>\n

The federal government was able to collect more than $1.6 million from the sale of a luxury real estate and other goods. The money collected will be given to the employer as part of the restitution, officials said.<\/p>\n

In addition, the government an additional $100,000 in Mangini’s financial and retirement accounts, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

Mangini agreed not to oppose any disciplinary action involving his CPA license by the Texas State Board of Accountancy related to this crime, officials said.<\/p>\n

The embezzling took place from January 2006 and continued until it was discovered in 2012.<\/p>\n

Mangini<\/strong> was the Chief Financial Officer at Service King LLC <\/strong>as well as the personal CPA to Service King\u2019s owner, Edward Lennox.<\/p>\n

The evidence indicated that Mangini accessed Lennox\u2019s computerized accounting system and printed or wrote unauthorized checks which were payable to Mangini\u2019s personal creditors or himself from Lennox\u2019s bank accounts.<\/p>\n

He then sent unauthorized checks for payment to his creditors through the U.S. Postal Service and initiated interstate wire transfers to move embezzled funds between financial entities for his own benefit and to conceal the true source of the proceeds.<\/p>\n

As a particular example, Mangini admitted in January 2012, he wrote a $40,000 check payable to American Express from one of Lennox\u2019s accounts. He also admitted that the check was not authorized and that the money was embezzled from Lennox.<\/p>\n

Mangini hid this crime by backdating a check by a year in Lennox’s records, officials said.<\/p>\n

The evidence at sentencing also indicated that Mangini made false representations in the course of obtaining a mortgage to purchase in part a luxury beachfront property in Destin, Florida.<\/p>\n

The FBI investigated this case.<\/p>\n
