Veronica Rios padded paychecks of employees of a company featured on a reality TV show — and paid others who didn't work there — in exchange for a cut.
A former employee of a Texas trucking company featured in a reality TV show was sentenced Tuesday to more than five years in prison for stealing more than $1.4 million from the firm. Veronica Rios — an administrative assistant who processed payroll at Texas Chrome Transport Inc. in Atascosa — overpaid some employees in exchange for a cut between 2017 and 2020. Rios also added non-employees, including her then-boyfriend, to the payroll and pocketed part of their fraudulent payments.
Man pleads guilty in $1.4 million scam of San Antonio-area trucking firm When Rios said she had 'zero' money for restitution, the judge asked her what happened to the money from the scheme. 'That's a good question — that's what I keep asking,' Rios said. 'It didn't come to my pocket.' Federal guidelines recommended a prison sentence of 51 to 63 months for Rios.
