"Food delivery workers trusted Mauricio Sevilla to invest their hard-earned money into a new food delivery company, only to learn that their money was stolen and the company was never created."
"Sevilla solicited investments ranging from just under $100 up to over $5,000, promising workers an opportunity to earn more income for their families than their current positions with popular services like Uber Eats and Door Dash."
"With today's guilty plea, these New Yorkers will get their hard-earned money back. Sevilla struck a deal to plead guilty in Manhattan Criminal Court to Scheme to Defraud in the First Degree."
Mauricio Sevilla, 42, pleaded guilty to defrauding food delivery workers out of thousands of dollars through a fraudulent investment scheme. He promised profit shares in a delivery app, Time 4 Comida, in exchange for investments. After securing around $7,500 from six workers, Sevilla ceased communication, and the app was never developed. The Manhattan District Attorney stated that the workers would receive their money back. Sevilla's plea deal allows for a potential reduction of charges if he makes restitution and avoids re-arrest for 18 months.
