Rockport businessman Russell “Rusty” Brace has pleaded guilty to three felony counts related to his $4.6 million embezzlement from the Midcoast charity he led for 17 years.
The Bangor Daily News reported that Brace, who was tried in U.S. District Court in Portland, faces up to 30 years in prison and a multi-million-dollar fine for one count of mail fraud affecting a financial institution and two counts of tax fraud and making false statements.
