Jody Gallagher, a former executive of AFL Global, is set to be sentenced in federal court for defrauding his company of over $2 million. Gallagher, who was once considered one of the most influential businessmen in Upstate South Carolina, was charged with wire fraud related to payments made for a home he was constructing on Kiawah Island. He allegedly created false business documents to cover up the scheme. In a plea agreement, Gallagher agreed to pay full restitution to the victims affected by his actions, although the exact amount is yet to be determined. Despite federal sentencing guidelines recommending a prison term, Gallagher’s attorneys have argued for a sentence without prison time. His former employer is seeking restitution of over $2.3 million. News of Gallagher’s fraud was first reported by FITSNews, and an update on his sentencing is expected soon. Gallagher’s case highlights the repercussions of white-collar crime in the business world.
