Man who gave company credit card to escort gets more than two years for $5.79M fraud
Following an apology from Scott Kennedy, a judge says “it’s hard to imagine what you really got out of this.”

A man who gave his company credit card to an escort he met online has been sentenced to more than two years in prison for the resulting $5.79 million fraud scheme.

It’s been more than two years since Scott Kennedy, 46, pleaded guilty to wire fraud. He later took the witness stand at the trial of that escort, Crystal Lundberg. In front of exasperated jurors, he explained in 2019 how Lundberg repeatedly took advantage of him, sending his credit card balances soaring. He had begun to see Lundberg and her children as family, and he said, “I was trying to be a provider.”

2. Regrettably, I have known people not far from this type in the industry.

The business we are in is supposed to be about, and mostly is, about saving lives, but there are definitely assholes in it.

Years ago they used to hold an important trade show in New Orleans, Informex, and it brought out the asshole in many executives.
