Two men plead guilty in Success Village embezzlement conspiracy

The DOJ said Carmine Gentile and Charles A. Pitcher pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud relating to Success Village Apartments. Court documents and statements cited by the DOJ allege that vendors submitted fraudulent or inflated invoices, while payments were diverted to Pitcher and another individual.

Gentile agreed to at least $750,000 in forfeiture and $1.5 million in restitution. Pitcher agreed to at least $635,629.35 in forfeiture; the source extract does not provide the full restitution amount. The case remains subject to sentencing, and the reported conduct is described in the context of their guilty pleas and court materials.
