A Beverly Hills man was sentenced last week to more than 14 years in state prison after pleading no contest to charges he embezzled $2.4 million from an El Segundo company.

Adam Reed Zucker, 42, pleaded no contest to 35 felony counts, including grand theft by embezzlement, money laundering and filing a false income tax return, on Aug. 27, prosecutors said.

He was sentenced Friday, March 15 by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jose Sandoval.

Zucker was the vice president for sports licensing at Artissimo Designs LLC , an El Segundo company that created wall art. His duties included securing licensing agreements with major collegiate athletic departments and professional sports teams for the use of their logos, fight songs, depictions of stadiums and other licensed products, prosecutors said.

The company was sold in liquidation to new owners in 2015 and an audit revealed that Zucker had fabricated hundreds of licensing agreements, causing the business to pay $2.4 million in fraudulent fees to seven shell companies that he controlled. The products for which the company was paying these fees were in the public domain and didn’t require a licensing agreement, prosecutors said.

Zucker then transferred the money from the companies into his personal bank account.
