A former IT administrator at a North Carolina nonprofit healthcare provider has received a lengthy prison sentence after systematically stealing more than $941,000 through fraudulent equipment purchases.<\/p>\n

Robin Corey Rix was convicted of four counts of obtaining property by false pretenses involving more than $100,000 and one count of embezzlement of funds by public officers and trustees, reports<\/a> Goldsboro Daily.<\/p>\n

Authorities say Rix worked as a senior systems administrator at 3HC Home Health and Hospice Care from 2020 to 2023 and used the company\u2019s credit card to submit fake invoices for refurbished laptops and other gear while routing charges through PayPal accounts he controlled. Instead of buying the IT equipment, Rix diverted the funds to personal uses such as vehicle and home payments, dining out, online gaming and travel to Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.<\/p>\n

Authorities also say Rix created a fictitious company to mask the transactions as legitimate business expenses.<\/p>\n

3HC has delivered compassionate home health and hospice services across 20 eastern North Carolina counties since its founding in 1981.<\/p>\n

Rix was indicted on the charges last September. Senior Resident Superior Court Judge Imelda J. Pate sentenced Rix to serve 29 to 39 years behind bars.<\/p>\n

Officials say the investigation underscores the need for strong financial controls and reflects the state\u2019s continued efforts to pursue sophisticated financial fraud schemes.<\/p>\n
