MINNEAPOLIS — A Woodbury man is accused of embezzling over $140,000 from his employer and spending it on various personal expenses, including the adult website OnlyFans, sports betting, and jewelry.

Timothy Michael Hill, Jr., 36, was federally charged Monday with five counts of wire fraud and will make his initial appearance in U.S. District Court on Feb. 14.

As a manager, Hill was responsible for collecting and making daily cash deposits into a safe deposit box, according to investigators.

But between September 2022 and October 2023, Hill collected the daily cash receipts, but instead of depositing it into the safe deposit box, pocketed some or all of the cash, prosecutors claim.

Hill used future cash receipts to cover his theft, creating a false impression that the cash deposits were delayed rather than stolen, investigators said.

In addition to spending the money on jewelry, online sports betting, OnlyFans, Hill transferred thousands of dollars through CashApp to various individuals, including several female colleagues in exchange for personal photos and videos, according to authorities.
