Kourosh Mirmehdi and his co-conspirators' scheme raked in roughly $4.1 million, with Mirmehdi getting more than $1.35 million.
An Irvine man has pleaded guilty to his role in a fraudulent kickback scheme that fleeced Williams Sonoma out of millions of dollars.
Mirmehdi, who was indicted by a federal grand jury last month, pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud conspiracy and one count of money laundering conspiracy. Remaining counts of wire fraud could be dismissed at sentencing as part of a plea agreement. Upon entering into the leasing agreements, Williams Sonoma would typically receive millions of dollars in broker rebates. However, Mirmehdi told prosecutors that he began conspiring to divert and steal those funds around 2020.
