'''Mark Angarola''' is an American former technology executive from Point Lookout, New York. He was a senior account manager at an information technology services firm. For roughly nine years he ran an embezzlement scheme that stole about $8.3 million from his employer. He pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy and tax evasion. On December 18, 2025, U.S. District Judge Dale E. Ho sentenced him to 38 months in federal prison.<ref name="irs2025">{{cite web |title=Tech company executive sentenced to prison for multimillion-dollar embezzlement scheme and tax evasion |url=https://www.irs.gov/compliance/criminal-investigation/tech-company-executive-sentenced-to-prison-for-multimillion-dollar-embezzlement-scheme-and-tax-evasion |publisher=Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation |date=2025-12-18 |access-date=2026-06-03}}</ref>

Angarola held the title of global account general manager. He managed his employer's relationship with one large client, a subsidiary of a global financial institution. He used that position to bill personal expenses to the company and to place his wife, friends, and his own assistant in no-show jobs. The fraudulent expenses ran from May 2010 through February 2019. They included restaurant meals, hotel stays, a cruise, transportation, and visits to gentlemen's clubs.<ref name="register2024">{{cite news |last=Mann |first=Tobias |title=Five charged with fraud over $7M+ in alleged bogus expenses |url=https://www.theregister.com/2024/01/19/5_fake_expenses_claim/ |work=The Register |date=2024-01-19 |access-date=2026-06-03}}</ref>

He also failed to report the stolen money on his taxes. Over four years he evaded about $668,000 in federal taxes. For two of those years he filed no return at all. The court ordered him to forfeit $2,679,445.26 and to pay restitution of $9,023,444.96.<ref name="irs2025"/>

== Background ==

Angarola lived in Point Lookout, a small community on the Long Island shoreline in Nassau County, New York.<ref name="irs2025"/> He worked in the information technology services sector. By 2010 he had risen to a senior management role at an IT consultancy. His title was global account general manager.<ref name="register2024"/>

The job put him in charge of one client account. That client was a subsidiary of a global financial institution.<ref name="register2024"/> Angarola approved invoices and expense claims tied to the account. The IT consultancy paid those costs and passed them through to the client. He controlled which charges were approved. That authority became the center of the fraud.<ref name="irs2025"/>

The IT consultancy was not named in court filings. A New Jersey subcontractor handled staffing on the account. Angarola directed that subcontractor on who to hire and which expenses to pay.<ref name="register2024"/>

== The Embezzlement Scheme ==

The scheme ran from approximately May 2010 through February 2019. Over that span it caused a loss of more than $8 million.<ref name="irs2025"/> Prosecutors put the total embezzlement figure at about $8.3 million.<ref name="irs2025"/>

The fraud had two parts. The first was no-show jobs. Angarola arranged for the subcontractor to put people on the payroll who did no IT work. The people he placed included his wife, several friends, and his executive assistant. Their backgrounds did not match the work. The group included a schoolteacher, a homemaker, a police sergeant, and a manager from the construction industry. None had the qualifications to perform information technology work.<ref name="register2024"/> They drew paychecks the client funded.<ref name="irs2025"/>

The second part was personal expenses billed as business costs. Angarola approved invoices for charges that had nothing to do with the account. The charges covered restaurant meals, hotel stays, a cruise, and private car service. They also covered visits to gentlemen's clubs.<ref name="register2024"/> The IT consultancy paid the bills. The client absorbed the cost.<ref name="irs2025"/>

Federal prosecutors charged five people in the scheme in January 2024. The group included Angarola, his wife Allison Angarola, his friend Jose Garcia, Garcia's wife Michelle Cox, and his assistant Lisa Mincak. Garcia controlled several corporate and limited liability entities that received money from the scheme.<ref name="register2024"/> Court filings traced individual gains. Garcia took the largest share at roughly $4.7 million. Angarola took about $1.5 million directly. Allison Angarola took $751,641, Cox took $335,500, and Mincak took $88,793.<ref name="register2024"/>

== Tax Evasion ==

Angarola did not declare the money he took from the scheme. The stolen funds were income. He hid them from the Internal Revenue Service.<ref name="irs2025"/>

The tax evasion spanned four years. Across those years he evaded about $668,000 in federal taxes.<ref name="irs2025"/> For two of the four years he filed no tax return. He paid no federal income tax for those years at all.<ref name="irs2025"/>

== Charges and Sentencing ==

A grand jury in the Southern District of New York returned charges in the case. Five defendants were arrested in January 2024.<ref name="register2024"/> Angarola pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy and tax evasion.<ref name="irs2025"/>

U.S. District Judge Dale E. Ho sentenced Angarola on December 18, 2025. The sentence was 38 months in federal prison. It included three years of supervised release to follow.<ref name="irs2025"/>

The court also imposed financial penalties. Angarola was ordered to forfeit $2,679,445.26. He was ordered to pay restitution of $9,023,444.96.<ref name="irs2025"/>

U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton announced the sentence. The investigation was handled by IRS Criminal Investigation, New York Field Office; the Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office; and the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General, Northeast Regional Office.<ref name="irs2025"/>
