BRIDGEPORT – A Shelton woman who worked as CFO of a Danbury software company has pleaded guilty to defrauding the unnamed company of more than $739,000, according to David Sullivan, U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut.
Pamela Aguilar, 65, pleaded guilty Thursday, June 4, before U.S. District Judge Kari A. Dooley in Bridgeport to an offense stemming from embezzling the funds.
Aguilar pleaded guilty to wire fraud, an offense that carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years.
According to court documents and statements made in court, between approximately 2018 and 2025, Aguilar defrauded Company A by making ACH and wire transfers from Company A’s account to personal bank accounts, writing checks and making cash withdrawals from Company A’s account, and by making PayPal and credit card payments from the company’s account for her own benefit.
Through this scheme, Aguila stole more than $739,466.44 from Company A. She attempted to cover up her criminal behavior by providing false weekly cash reports and false monthly financial statements to Company A’s CEO.
She is released on a $50,000 bond pending sentencing, which is scheduled for Aug. 27.
This investigation has been conducted by the FBI. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Ray Miller.
