THE CREDIT CARD COMPANY, AMERICAN EXPRESS, REFUNDED THE FULL AMOUNT TO AMIDEAST IN OCTOBER 2022. AT THE TIME OF DISCOVERY, AMIDEAST LEADERSHIP NOTIFIED THE WASHINGTON, D.C. POLICE AND THE U.S. FEDERAL AUTHORITIES OF THE MISAPPROPRIATION OF FUNDS AND TOOK IMMEDIATE ACTION TO PREVENT FUTURE OCCURRENCES BY IMPLEMENTING A SERIES OF ENHANCED INTERNAL CONTROLS REGARDING THE USE OF CORPORATE CREDIT CARDS. DURING THE INVESTIGATION OF THE MISAPPROPRIATION OF FUNDS, AMIDEAST DISCOVERED THAT THE TWO EMPLOYEES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FRAUD HAD SET UP A NON-CORPORATE AMAZON ACCOUNT THAT WAS FRAUDULENTLY LINKED TO THE CREDIT CARD. AS A RESULT, AMIDEAST WAS NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE LOSS. HOWEVER, AMIDEAST INFORMED THE US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (DOJ) OF THE OVERALL SITUATION. THE DOJ THEN ISSUED SUBPOENAS TO REQUEST THE DETAILS OF THAT AMAZON ACCOUNT. AFTER COMPLETING A LENGTHY LEGAL INVESTIGATION, THE DOJ'S NATIONAL FRAUD ENFORCEMENT DIVISION WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE LOSS AT $393,675, WHICH WAS REPORTED TO AMIDEAST IN AUGUST 2025. FURTHERMORE, THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE INITIATED LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE TWO FORMER EMPLOYEES IN THE FALL OF 2025. DURING SEPARATE HEARINGS THAT TOOK PLACE IN DECEMBER OF 2025 AND IN APRIL OF 2026, BOTH DEFENDANTS PLEADED GUILTY AND WERE SENTENCED TO PRISON TERMS AND TO PAY RESTITUTION TO AMIDEAST FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE PORTION OF THE MISAPPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. EVEN THOUGH THE OUTCOME OF THESE PROCEEDINGS TOOK PLACE AFTER THE PERIOD FOR THIS 990 FILING, WE ARE INCLUDING IT HERE TO FINALIZE THE REPORTING OF THIS MATTER.
