Nov. 19, 2013 -- Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore announced that Scott Yandrasevich (DOB 2/25/1964) of 11 Abbey Lane, Danbury, Connecticut, was arraigned today on a Felony Complaint charging him with:
- one count of Grand Larceny in the Second Degree, a class “C” Felony.
Between Jan. 21, 2008 and Aug. 16, 2012, the defendant, who was the General Manager of the Rye Golf Club, located at 330 Boston Post Road, in Rye, New York, stole approximately $271,120.00 from the Club and the City of Rye by knowingly submitting false invoices to the City of Rye for fictitious employees over this approximate four and a half year period.
The club is a Rye City owned non-equity membership club,
The defendant accomplished this larceny by setting up and effectively controlling a staffing company called RM Staffing for the purposes of billing the City of Rye for services provided to the Club.
The defendant submitted false bi-weekly invoices on RM Staffing stationary listing individual(s) who were falsely described as working in “Administration,” “Restaurant” and/or “Operations” at the Club, when in fact no such person(s) worked for the Club.
In total, these fraudulent invoices were submitted during a span of over one hundred pay periods and the City of Rye paid out approximately $271,120.00 to RM Staffing for these fictional services.
After RM Staffing received these stolen monies, said stolen monies were ultimately transferred back to the defendant, who used said funds for his own personal use.
The City became aware of financial irregularities, hired outside counsel who further investigated and forwarded those findings to the District Attorneys office.
Bail was set at $20,000 bond or $10,000 cash.
The defendant’s next court date is Dec. 17, 2013.
He faces a maximum sentence of fifteen years in state prison.
Assistant District Attorney Brian Conway, Deputy Chief of the Public Integrity Bureau is prosecuting the case.
