Sudbury Man Stole $7.8M From Former Employers: USAO

SUDBURY, MA — A man from Central Massachusetts has pleaded guilty to his role in a longtime scheme to steal money from his two former employers

Adam Gentile of Sudbury was accused of stealing nearly $8 million from former employers, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts. The 39-year-old was accused of carrying out the scheme from at least 2015 to 2024, while he worked at two different medical practices.

In about 2014, Gentile, who used to live in Hudson, was hired as an administrative assistant at a medical practice and quickly promoted to office manager. In that role, he processed payroll and oversaw recordkeeping and administrative responsibilities.

Officials said that from 2015 to around November 2020, he embezzled more than $4.5 million from that employer. He did so by issuing himself extra paychecks, which he sometimes labeled "bonuses," the USAO said.

He also paid off personal credit card debt using that first employer's bank account, according to the USAO.

In 2021, he was hired by a second medical practice to work as an office manager and had a similar responsibility of processing payroll. From about Apr. 2021 to May 2024, he executed a similar scheme to send extra payroll payments to himself, the USAO said.

Gentile was accused of using the employer's bank account to pay off credit cards, purchase and upgrade his home in Hudson and put money toward a side business.

Ultimately, he embezzled more than $3.3 million from the second employer.

The USAO did not disclose the name or location of either practice where Gentile worked.

Gentile's sentencing is scheduled for Jul. 16, 2026. He faces a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, up to three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000 or twice the gross loss involved.
