Thirty-seven year old Manassas resident, Brandon Hoffman, was sentenced to 15 months in prison and three years of supervised release for stealing $370K from his former employer.
According to a United States Department of Justice release, Hoffman was also required to pay more than $271K in restitution, in addition to forfeiting the money he took.
When the case began in court in February, Hoffman pleaded guilty.
As stated in court documents, for ten years – from 2004 to 2014 – Hoffman has worked as a medical biller and officer manager in Fairfax.
Starting in 2009, Hoffman intercepted 439 checks from health insurance companies that were payable to the medical practice, as well as forging the doctor’s signature – depositing the funds into his own account.
Before being caught, Hoffman had taken $370, 836.
