Dean P. Mogan, 61, of Wappingers Falls, was indicted by a Putnam County grand jury on 15 counts, including scheme to defraud, grand larceny, petit larceny, and felony and misdemeanor counts of criminal tax fraud, Levy said.
Mogan worked for a Putnam company that stocks and maintains ATMs in Putnam, Westchester and Fairfield (Conn.) counties.
The indictment alleges that Mogan failed to deposit portions of cash he was responsible for using to fill the ATMs, Levy said. The alleged thefts took place between January 2011 and June 2012, and from January 2013 to September 2013, netting roughly $500,000.
“Mogan is accused not of a single lapse in judgement, but rather a systematic, continued effort to defraud his employer, their clients, and the taxpayers of New York state,” Levy said. “Make no mistake, we take white collar crime very seriously in Putnam County.”
Levy said the indictment comes after a lengthy multi-agency investigation led by Assistant District Attorney Laura Roberts of the Putnam County District Attorney’s Office. Helping with the investigation were the state Department of Taxation and Finance’s Criminal Investigations Division and the New York State Police.
Mogan was arraigned in Putnam County Court on July 7 and has been released on bail. Facing a maximum of 15 to 45 years if convicted, he is due back in court Tuesday, Aug. 18.
