In the News

Denner Pellegrino, LLP Attorneys Jeffrey Denner and Brad Bailey  are representing Angela Platt, charged by prosecutors with embezzling almost $7 million from Rehoboth construction firm J & J Materials according to the Boston Herald staffer Jerry Kronenberg on January 23, 2007.

The Herald article includes a statement by acting U. S. Attorney Mike Loucks, "I've been prosecuting for 21 years and I don't remember an employment-embezzlement case bigger than this."

Raja Mishra, Boston Globe staff writer stated in its article on January 23, 2007, "A Pennsylvania woman was charged yesterday with embezzling $6.9 million ...using a scheme outlined by prosecutors in which she accumulated a Vermont ranch, a stable of show horses, a fleet of custom cars, and an extensive list of other luxury items."

B & B Materials owner John Ferreira was quoted in the Herald as saying that "He hired Platt because she was self-taught like him. "That's what made me so trusting of her."

Kronenberg wrote that, "The alleged scheme only collapsed last spring, when Ferreira decided to sell one of his operations. That required creating separate ledgers and hiring a second bookkeeper." The paper stated that there is an agreement for a plea in exchange for a reduced sentence.
