San Jose company CEO sentenced for hotel embezzlement scheme

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:43:50 GMT

(KRON) -- A man who owns a San Jose-based management company was sentenced Wednesday to serve six months in jail for embezzling money from over a dozen hotels.Henry Flynn, 57, owner and CEO of Kubo, provided management services to small hotels in Lake Tahoe and the San Francisco Bay Area. Flynn was previously convicted in 2008 of grand theft for embezzling from his then-employer, Vasona Management. As CEO of Kubo, he was accused of pocketing tens of thousands in fraudulently-obtained insurance funds, Santa Clara County prosecutors said.Flynn employed personnel to manage the hotels and obtained workers’ compensation insurance for those employees. Records from 2015-2018 showed that for those policy years, Kubo over-estimated the insurance needs of some clients, resulting in premium over-payments of tens of thousands of dollars per year. However, when the insurance providers refunded the over-payments, Flynn pocketed the refund checks and put some of them into his personal accounts, th...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:43:50 GMT

Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills are well aware they are on the outside looking in when it comes to a playoff spot.With three games remaining, Allen knows the only thing the Bills can do is handle their own business. That starts when they visit the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday night.“We’ve got to control what we can control,” Allen said. “It’s essentially win or go home. So again, we got to be prepared for every punch that the Chargers can throw at us and be able to respond and adjust accordingly in game.”Buffalo has overcome a midseason swoon, criticism of coach Sean McDermott and a rash of defensive injuries to win three of four.

The Bengals beat Buffalo on Nov. 5 while the Colts and Houston Texans have better conference records.Buffalo, though, could receive early Christmas gifts. Cinc...
