Sudbury Man Who Stole $7.8M From Former Employers Sentenced To Prison

SUDBURY, MA — A Sudbury man will spend four years in federal prison for stealing millions of dollars from two medical practices where he managed payroll and financial records.

Adam Gentile, 40, was sentenced on Thursday in federal court in Worcester after pleading guilty to three counts of wire fraud, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts. Prosecutors said Gentile embezzled about $7.8 million from two employers between 2015 and 2024.

The judge also sentenced Gentile to four years of supervised release. He was ordered to pay $3.8 million in restitution to one former employer and $3.3 million to the other, as well as forfeit $7.8 million.

Gentile began working as an administrative assistant for a medical practice near Boston around 2014 and was promoted shortly afterward to office manager. His responsibilities included processing payroll and overseeing the practice’s records and administrative work, according to officials.

From about 2015 through November 2020, Gentile embezzled more than $4.5 million by issuing himself additional paychecks, sometimes recording the payments as bonuses, prosecutors said. He also used the practice’s bank account to pay his personal credit card bills.

Gentile became the office manager for a second medical practice in 2021, where he again had sole responsibility for processing payroll.

Between April 2021 and May 2024, Gentile used a similar scheme to steal more than $3.3 million, prosecutors say. He issued himself extra payroll payments, used the employer’s bank account to pay personal credit cards and spent the money on purchasing and upgrading his Hudson home and supporting a side business.

Gentile pleaded guilty in March after being charged in December 2025. The FBI’s Boston Division investigated the case with assistance from the Leominster Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kaitlin J. Brown prosecuted the case.
