with wire fraud and money laundering in connection with a scheme to divert tens of thousands of dollars from the company to his personal bank accounts.

Neil Divers, 64, of Chico, was charged with five counts of wire fraud and two counts of money laundering, according to a joint announcement Wednesday from the Department of Justice and the IRS. Prosecutors said other co-owners of the company discovered in 2015 that Divers was taking money from the company without authorization.
