Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced today that ERIN VERESPY was sentenced to 66 months in prison for her participation in a widespread, $33 million scheme to misappropriate client healthcare funds and defraud multiple lenders through her role as the Chief Financial Officer of Employee Benefit Solutions LLC (“EBS”), an insurance firm located in Wilton, Connecticut. VERESPY previously pled guilty before U.S. District Judge Cathy Seibel, who imposed today’s sentence.
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: “For nearly two years, Erin Verespy helped manage a sophisticated, widespread scheme to steal millions of dollars of client healthcare funds, including with false and inflated invoices. As part of that scheme, Verespy also defrauded lenders out of millions. In doing so, she abused a position of trust as a fiduciary of client money that was meant to pay for important healthcare expenses. Thanks to the coordinated and tireless efforts of our law enforcement partners to untangle this fraud, Verespy will now serve a significant sentence in federal prison.”
