Police say a manager at a Las Vegas Japanese steakhouse quietly siphoned off nearly $1 million from the business over several years, allegedly turning delivery app money into a personal slush fund that fed investments and casino play. He was arrested, booked into the Clark County Detention Center, and later released after posting a $20,000 surety bond. A justice-court status check is scheduled for May 13.
What police allege
According to investigators, a review of the restaurant’s financial and bank records showed the manager rerouting payments from the restaurant’s Uber Eats and DoorDash accounts into personal bank accounts. Detectives said they spotted large transfers to investment and cryptocurrency platforms, along with what they described as “significant casino activity” across multiple accounts. They concluded the money movement looked consistent with embezzlement and money laundering, as reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
