Man driven by 'pure greed' embezzled millions as Chesterfield firm cut jobs, judge says at sentencing

ST. LOUIS • The former chief financial officer of a Chesterfield company who embezzled $2.8 million was sentenced in federal court here Monday to 41 months in prison and ordered to repay $2.2 million.

Saying that Ramon “Trey” Luina, 42, was driven by "absolute, pure greed," U.S. District Judge John Ross said it was "unimaginable" that Luina kept working at and stealing from his company while colleagues' pay and jobs were cut.

He stole an average of $280,000 per year from CMS Communications Inc. for a decade beginning in 2006, company records show.
