Green Bay Man Sentenced to Nearly Six Years in Prison and Ordered to Pay $2,610,433 in Restitution for Mail Fraud and Money Laundering
U.S. Attorney’s Office February 05, 2009 |
Acting United States Attorney Michelle L. Jacobs for the Eastern District of Wisconsin announced that Dale Endries (47) of Green Bay was sentenced on February 3, 2009, by United States District Court Judge William C. Griesbach, to 71 months in prison for mail fraud and money laundering. Endries was also sentenced to a term of three years supervised release, and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $2,610,433.
Endries is the former Controller of Oneida Golf and Country Club, Inc., located in Green Bay. As Controller, Endries exercised direct control over the finances of Oneida Golf. Endries used his position as Controller to fraudulently divert more than $2.6 million from Oneida Golf’s checking account to his own personal benefit. Endries pled guilty to carrying out a scheme to defraud Oneida Golf and Country Club from May 2001 to March 2007. Endries also pled guilty to money laundering.
At sentencing, the government emphasized the duration and magnitude of Endries’s fraud and stressed the need for the sentence to deter others. The government also noted that Endries’s crimes were motivated by pure greed. Judge Griesbach, noting the seriousness of Endries’s fraud and his brazen behavior, ordered Endries remanded into custody to begin serving his sentence immediately.
This matter was investigated jointly by the Green Bay Police Department and the FBI. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Tammy Jo Hock
