Supervisor embezzled to go to Super Bowl

Edward Abellana was accounts payable supervisor from 2011 to 2015 at Argen Corp., a San Diego metals company. He embezzled $1.9 million during the period he was overseeing credit card accounts, according to federal Judge Janis Sammartino, who sentenced him to two years in prison April 7.

He used the money on a trip to the Super Bowl, trips to other sporting events, renting private jets and going on luxurious vacations, according to the court.

The judge says he should pay $1.95 million to Argen and $661,000 to the Internal Revenue Service.
