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

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

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

According to authorities, in addition to spending the money on jewelry and 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.
