RICHMOND, Va. -- A Rockingham County Circuit Court has sentenced Andrew T. Hahn of Winchester, Virginia, for his role in an embezzlement and money laundering scheme from the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Community Services Board (“CSB.”)  

From mid 2019 until his arrest in October 2021, Hahn served as CSB’s Information Technology (IT) manager. Hahn was accused of embezzling over $890,000.00 by creating false invoices for computer purchases from Anchored Technology LLC, which was solely owned by Hahn. Over $720,000 of these funds were found to be used for Hahn’s personal expenses from 2019 until late 2021. After a lengthy investigation, Hahn agreed to plead guilty to five counts of embezzlement and one count of money laundering without agreement as to sentencing.

The Circuit Court sentenced Hahn to 20 years on each embezzlement count, with seventeen years suspended. The three years of incarceration on each embezzlement count are to run consecutively, for a total of 15 years of active incarceration. The court sentenced Hann to 40 years on the money laundering charge, the maximum allowed by statute, with all time suspended. The court also ordered $189,410 in restitution.

"The Office of the Attorney General’s Financial Crimes Team plays a key role investigating white collar crime throughout the Commonwealth and I commend them and our law enforcement partners for helping secure justice in this case. Bad actors in Virginia will not be tolerated,” said Attorney General Miyares.

Rockingham County Commonwealth’s Attorney Marsha L. Garst said “I wish to thank Attorney General Miyares and the Financial Crimes Team for their outstanding work on this case.”

Office of Attorney General Senior Financial Crimes Investigator Howard Mulholland, Senior Crime Analyst Jennifer Dauzier, and Senior Financial Crime Investigator Mark De Almeida assisted in the investigation of the case with the Harrisonburg Police Department and Rockingham County Commonwealth Attorney.
