Justin Cole, 40, of Uxbridge
pleaded guilty in Worcester Su-
perior Court on May 25 to eight
counts of larceny, five counts
of false claims, four counts of
securing an unwarranted privi-
lege, and one count of unlawful
financial interest of a municipal
employee.
Cole will serve his time in
the Worcester County House
of Correction, followed by
three years of probation with
the condition that he is barred
from performing any financial
services for any entity.
Cole embezzled most of
the funds while working as an
accountant for the Town of Ux-
bridge between 2012 to 2017,
while also serving as principal
of the Bay State Municipal
Accounting Group. Stolen funds
were used to pay the group's
rent and purchase software.
Cole continued to steal town
funds after his stint in Uxbridge,
as BMAG provided account-
ing services to several other
small towns such as Millville,
Monterey, and Wenham. In total,
Cole stole a total of $931,149
with $855,474 from Uxbridge,
$24,597 from Monterey,
$47,600 from Millville, and
$3,478 from Wenham.
