The son of an AFL legend will spend nine months behind bars for stealing $140,000 from a family-owned business. Dylan DiPierdomenico, the son of AFL legend, Robert, admitted to 71 instances of fraud over 10 months while he was national sales manager at MGI Golf. He stole $140,717.70 from the family-run golfing wholesaler, between August 2018 and June 2019, by fraudulently running transactions and creating invoices for customers with his PayPal or bank account details.
DiPierdomenico, who has been on bail for the offending, faced the County Court in Melbourne on Thursday where he learnt his fate after pleading guilty to obtaining property by deception. Judge Richard Maidment handed him a nine-month prison term and he will have to spend two years on a community work order. He said the fact MGI Golf has not received “one dollar” since DiPierdomenico was dismissed in 2019 was “troubling”.
