LOUISVILLE, KY - Jeffrey Todd Moore, 42, of Louisville, Kentucky, was sentenced to 1 year imprisonment in United States District Court, Louisville, Kentucky, for engaging in a fraudulent billing scheme against his former employer, Hussung Mechanical Contractors, Inc., U.S. Attorney David L. Huber of the Western District of Kentucky announced today. Chief Judge John G. Heyburn, II, United States District Court, also sentenced Moore to 2 years supervised release following incarceration. There is no parole in the federal judicial system. In addition, Judge Heyburn ordered Moore to pay $604,667.67 in restitution to the victim of his crimes, Hussung Mechanical Contractors, Inc. Prior to sentencing, in accordance with the terms of his plea agreement with the United States, Moore made an initial payment of $200,000 toward his restitution obligation.
