Canonsburg Man Indicted In Embezzlement Case

A Canonsburg man is accused of embezzling nearly $7 million from another business he worked for. Jon Weston, who owns Katie’s Kandy in Pittsburgh, was federally indicted on charges of fraud, conspiracy, money laundering and filing false tax returns this week. Investigators say Weston was an accountant for Hillandale Farms in Greensburg and worked with the bookkeeper to steal from Hillandale. Investigators say that Weston laundered millions of dollars through the bank accounts for Katie’s Kandy and his chain of car washes. Officials say the embezzlement went on for 14 years until the bookkeeper died in 2019. Weston faces up to 58 years in prison.
