Former President of Nonprofit Organization Receiving Federal Funds Sentenced for Theft from Employee Benefit Plan

On August 7, 2023, the former President of Social Services Interagency Council of Lake Havasu City (SSIC), an entity that received Office of Justice Programs, Victims of Crime Act grant money, was sentenced to 60 months of probation, a fine of $7,500, and a restitution amount to be determined at a later date for two counts of theft from an employee benefit plan.  Glenn M. Eigenbrodt was sentenced in the District of Arizona.  According to the factual statement in support of the guilty plea, Eigenbrodt directed funds from employee paychecks, which were meant to be remitted for the employees’ retirement plans and to medical providers for medical coverage, to be misapplied for payroll, to pay a settlement with an SSIC employee, and to make a direct payment to himself, knowing he was not entitled to divert these funds for expenses unrelated to the employee benefit plans.  The investigation was conducted by the OIG’s Tucson Area Office and the Department of Labor Employee Benefits Security Administration; forensic assistance was provided by the OIG’s Cyber Investigations Office.
