Martin Bodner, former CFO of Tommy Hilfiger Handbags and Small Leather Goods Inc. (a Tommy Hilfinger licensee), was sentenced on Friday to 66 months in prison by US District Judge P. Kevin Castel in Manhattan. Bodner pleaded guilty on September 15 to a two-count information charging him with mail fraud and wire fraud (earlier); he admitted embezzling more than $19 million from the company between 2000 and 2007, largely by using his authority to secretly increase his salary and bonuses, arranging to be reimbursed for phony expenses and using company funds to pay for personal expenses. Bodner was also ordered to pay over $17.3 million restitution and to forfeit luxury items including real estate and cars (DOJ, North Country Gazette).
