A St. Louis flooring company warehouse and labor supervisor has been charged with defrauding his employer out of at least $300,000 through a series of schemes that lasted years, the U.S. Department of Justice announced.
Ronald Scott Miller was charged on four counts of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. The alleged schemes lasted from March 2014 to at least Sept. 29, 2020, according to the DOJ.
The indictment alleges Miller submitted false weekly timesheets reflecting work that employees did not perform, along with fraudulent invoices and altered receipts âso that his employer would pay him money that he was not entitled to receive,â the DOJ stated.
Miller allegedly inflated his hours as well as his sonâs hours at the company without his sonâs knowledge, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. Heâs also accused of falsely listing his partner as an employee of the flooring company. The case was investigated by the FBI.
