A managing member of a garbage collection business in Hartford has pleaded guilty to one count of embezzlement against a bankruptcy estate, according to the Department of Justice.

According to court documents and statements, Anthony Green, of Greenwich, managed T-Green Carting. In April 2012, the company filed a voluntary chapter 11 bankruptcy petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut. Over the next year, Green allegedly deposited more than $160,000 in cash and cash proceeds into his personal bank accounts from the T-Green bankruptcy estate. He also reportedly transferred funds out of and into T-Green’s debtor-in-possession (DIP) account, resulting in an additional loss of approximately $18,700 from the bankruptcy estate.

While the bankruptcy case was pending, Green was required to deposit all of the customer checks for services performed by the T. Green Carting into its DIP account.

Sentencing is scheduled for April 29, at which time Green faces a maximum term of imprisonment of five years, a fine of up to $250,000 and an order of restitution.
