Tom Clasby, the former director of Quincy's Elder Services Department, is facing charges of embezzlement, mail and wire fraud after allegedly using city funds for personal expenses.
The former director of elder services for Quincy, Massachusetts , embezzled thousands of dollars from the city through 'personal indulgences' like 153 lbs. of steak tips and using city funds as a 'personal slush fund,' federal officials said Wednesday. Tom Clasby's indictment on charges of embezzlement, mail and wire fraud and transporting stolen property across state lines sheds new light on his departure from Quincy's Elder Services Department last year.
He was due in federal court Wednesday afternoon. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney who could speak to the charges. In a statement Wednesday, Koch said he appreciated Quincy police and other local officials for investigating when the allegations were uncovered, and thanked the FBI and federal prosecutors for their investigation. 'While I remain deeply saddened personally by what transpired, the way this matter was handled by all involved -- from our staff, our outside auditors, and law enforcement – showed unequivocally that this kind of breach of the public’s trust will never be tolerated. The Kennedy Center is a special place for our seniors, and it will remain so,' he said. A city official in Quincy, Massachusetts, is on administrative leave amid an investigation, according to city staff, though it wasn't immediately clear what the investigation is looking into. While Clasby served as the director of the department for 25 years, dating to 1999, the allegations against him date to 2019, when prosecutors say he started using buying personal expenses through the city, including $8,950 to book a music studio where he recorded himself singing, $2,236 that bought 153 lbs. of bourbon steak tips, $4,800 towards a Toyota Prius and $1,658 for a framed self-portrait
