CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire authorities say a former systems engineer for Planet Fitness has pleaded guilty to bilking the company out of more than $920,000 by using company funds to buy iPads that he then sold.
Acting U.S. Attorney Donald Feith (feeth) said Tuesday that 31-year-old Nicholas Selby submitted invoices to the New Hampshire company from November 2013 to March 2015 that falsely described the items purchased. Selby bought more than 1,800 iPads, took delivery himself then sold them to companies in Rexburg, Idaho and Lawton, Oklahoma.
The scam unraveled when another Planet Fitness employee took a call about a legitimate iPad order that led to a discussion about Selby's orders.
Formerly of Madbury, Selby now lives in Snellville, Georgia. He faces up to 20 years in prison and fines on the mail fraud conviction.
