Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office investigated Boucher & James
The Attorney General Shapiro’s Office opened an investigation into Boucher and James after another managing director at the company discovered the defendant’s fraudulent scheme and reported it to law enforcement.
In 2018, the managing director reviewed the company’s bills and found Eisold’s handwritten additional hours into the draft invoices of his clients. He noticed that one employee was recorded to have worked 34 hours in one day, which was a discrepancy.
The discrepancy prompted the managing director to review Eisold’s other billing and found that he was consistently overbilling clients. The managing director informed his colleagues about the discrepancies and subsequently reported his findings to law enforcement.
Boucher & James reimbursed more than $851K to clients
The Northampton County District Attorney referred the case to the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office, which found that Boucher and James’ employees stole around $2.1 million from clients. The three defendants received bonuses as a result of their fraud scheme.
According to the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office, more than 100 entities suffered losses as a result of the defendant’s fraudulent scheme or theft.
The defendants resigned from their position. Boucher and James cooperated with the investigation and reached a settlement agreement with AG Shapiro’s office. The company repaid more than $851,000 in overbilled funds to clients dating back to January 1, 2015.
