Potomac Man Gets 40 Months in Prison

A Potomac man was sentenced last week to 40 months in prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud.

Sanjeet "Sonny" Veen, 47, of Potomac MD last year admitted to taking orders from Dunlap & Kyle Company Inc., based in Mississippi, for tires from foreign manufactures and submitting deceptive invoices for tires never received. Veen then received payment for those tires.

Veen's prison sentence will be followed by three years' supervised release. He was also ordered to pay $6,890,000 in restitution to Cambridge Trading, in care of Dunlap & Kyle Company, Inc.

“Left unchecked, corporate fraud threatens our economy, workforce and consumers,” said Daniel McMullen, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in Mississippi. “The sentence of Sanjeet Veen is the result of the persistence and dedication of the agents, analysts and prosecutors who worked on this complex case, and I applaud their efforts.”
