Now, the suspected thief, year-old Darinder Dyal, is in jail facing felony charges for allegedly stealing the money through checks written to himself, and for allegedly laundering it to avoid getting caught.
Dyal was homeless and living out of his car in when he met the owners of Bay Area Transport, a trucking company based in Union City and Stockton. He became the manager of their office division, allowing him to sign off on fuel expenditures and communicate directly with clients, according to court records.
Now that the case has been filed, new details have become public, including how authorities believe Dyal spent his allegedly ill-gotten gains. Authorities say he attempted to write some of the thefts off as gambling winnings, which fell in line with trips that the company owners say he regularly made to out-of-state casinos. Investigators allegedly found evidence that Dyal was making trips to the United Kingdom, where he is a citizen, and frequently traveling out-of-state on first class commercial flights and private jets, according to court records.
