A Vancouver man pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court to wire fraud after embezzling more than $400,000 from his San Diego, Calif.-based employer, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California.
Derick Jonathan Cameron, 37, was employed as the financial controller for RAL Investment Corp. He admitted to abusing his access to the company’s accounting software to issue more than 200 unauthorized checks to himself, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a news release.
