Hoosier CPA Indicted on Bank Fraud Charge

A CPA from Munster, Ind., has been indicted on charges that he stole more than $600,000 from a physician, who had hired the accountant, for his casino gambling. CPA Jack Weichman was indicted of charges of bank theft for a scheme that allegedly ran from December 2008 through 2009.

The defendant and his business, Weichman and Associates, to provide payroll and accounting services to the physician's medical practice. Instead, the indictment alleges Weichman secretly moved the money from the physician's accountant and into the account of another doctor, who was unaware of the activity, at the same bank.

Weichman then withdrew those funds from the second physician's bank account by purchasing cashier's checks payable to himself. He allegedly cashed the checks at area casino and gambled with the money.

Unrelated court records show that Weichman, but not his CPA firm, filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy on Oct. 16, 2008. Schedules involved in the case showed he had an interest in Medical Management and Data Services, a medical business based in Munster that handles medical billing and accounting. MMDS had a fair market value of $470,000, but was being used as collateral for $715,946 in debt. His accounting business was valued at $105,00, but was being utilized as collateral for a loan.
