FARMINGTON, Utah (KSL.com) — A Farmington man was sentenced Thursday to a year and a half in prison for embezzling nearly $1.8 million from his employer.

Timothy Sean Edgar, 44, was sentenced for wire fraud and money laundering after he pleaded guilty in March to the years-long scheme.

“Edgar defrauded his employer to obtain money and property by stealing and lying,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office of Utah said in a statement.

Starting in 2021 and through October 2024, Edgar fraudulently opened a sales channel on an online marketplace and used his employment credentials to access the vendor portal, then redirected payments to his personal bank account, court documents said. He would then make payments back to his employer using his personal credit card.
