Rhonda Rochelle Canidate, a 48-year-old woman from Greensboro, North Carolina, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering charges related to embezzling funds from her former employer, Henry Molded Products Company in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. Canidate, who was employed as an accounting specialist at the company, admitted to entering false payment entries for former employees into the company’s third-party payroll software. This caused the software to issue direct deposit payments from Henry Molded’s bank account to bank accounts controlled by Canidate in the name of the former employees. The fraudulent scheme, which took place between October 2021 and June 2022, resulted in a loss of $532,050 for the company.
