Former North Texas CFO sentenced on wire fraud charges: U.S. Attorney’s Office
A former North Texas chief financial officer with a prior conviction has been sentenced to four years in federal prison on wire fraud charges, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas.
Jon Robert Rush, 56, of Keller, pleaded guilty to a wire fraud charge in April 2024, the statement said.
Rush was vice president and later chief financial officer of a Dallas Fort Worth International Airport logistics and transportation company, according to the attorney’s office.
Between 2016 and 2020, Rush misdirected company funds to pay off personal debt, concealing the fraud by entering the transactions in the company’s accounting software, according to the statement.
Rush was ordered to pay over $1 million in restitution, according to the attorney’s office.
He was convicted in 1994 of conspiracy to commit counterfeit check fraud and wire fraud, which the court cited as the reason for his sentence at Wednesday’s hearing.
