Owners of Bradenton cabinet business convicted for embezzling over $310K in customers’ money

BRADENTON, Fla. (WFLA) — Two business owners were sentenced on Thursday for defrauding customers from 2022 to 2023.

According to the Bradenton Police Department, the former owner of M&L Cabinets, Ryan Nobles, was convicted of embezzling construction funds for amounts totaling at least $100,000, which is a first-degree felony.

The co-owner of the business, Nicole Anderson, was convicted of scheming to defraud for amounts exceeding $50,000 in 2024.

In Febuary 2023, an investigation was launched following complaints that customers were making down payments for kitchens that were never started or finished.

Nearly two dozen customers made payments ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars for cabinets on which the business failed to order from suppliers.

Detectives said an examination of financial records showed that Nobles used the company credit card at various casinos in Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, and Las Vegas from August 2022 to January 2023.

During these five months, he racked up charges of about $220,000.

At this time, Anderson also withdrew around $90,000 using her company credit card.

Both were continuing to collect payments from clients in the meantime.

According to Bradenton police, Nobles was convicted to 30 months in jail followed by 27 years of probation and he also must pay restitutions. The amount is to be determined by a judge at a later date.

Anderson was convicted to 21 months in jail and 20 years of probation. She was ordered to pay $88,507 in restitution.
