United States District Judge Xavier Rodriguez sentenced Joseph P. Karpowicz, 48-year-old former Chief Financial Officer for Presidio Title (Presidio), to 30 months in federal prison for stealing over $367,000 from the San Antonio real estate title company.
In addition to the prison term, Judge Rodriguez ordered that Karpowicz pay $367,309 restitution to his victim and be placed on supervised release for a period of three years after completing his prison term.

The United States Secret Service Identity Theft Task Force together with the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation conducted this investigation.
Outcome: Defendant was sentenced t 30 months in prison, was ordered to pay $367,309 in restitution and to serve a period of supervised release for three years.
