Man pleads guilty to embezzling $6M from Kansas company

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom says a Kansas man has pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $6 million from an Overland Park company.

Forty-six-year-old Kenneth Voboril, of Shawnee Mission, pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of wire fraud and one count of filing a false tax return.

He admitted that devised a scheme to defraud Commodity Specialists Company by creating fake companies and billing CSC for deliveries that didn’t occur. At the time, Voboril was running a CSC subsidiary, TransMaxx.

He embezzled more than $6 million and did not report the income on his federal tax returns.

Voboril will be sentenced Dec. 7.
