A Philadelphia man pleaded guilty Friday to defrauding two local nonprofits of more than $320,000, according to U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania David Metcalf. Seth S. Jones, 46, pleaded guilty to two counts of wire fraud after being charged last month in connection with the scheme, prosecutors said. From at least 2017 through September 2025, Jones worked in the finance department of a nonprofit that served as the parent organization of a second nonprofit. Officials did not identify either nonprofit organization. According to prosecutors, Jones defrauded the organizations by using a company credit card to pay for approximately $291,023 in personal expenses and diverting approximately $31,775 from a bank account associated with the second nonprofit into bank accounts he controlled. Prosecutors said Jones carried out the scheme by falsifying expense reports, failing to submit expense reports and creating fake invoices. Jones is set to be sentenced on Nov. 5 and faces a maximum of 40 years in prison. ...read more read less
