A
former controller at DoubleBay Partners, a commercial real estate firm in the Denver Tech Center, is accused of embezzling nearly $400,000. Thomson Tse's bank accounts have been frozen by a south metro judge after DoubleBay warned that he was attempting to abscond with the stolen funds.

    According to DoubleBay's lawsuit, Tse used his position to conceal his activities and hide the thefts from his employer. The firm claims that Tse admitted to embezzling $228,981 but failed to disclose the full extent of his crimes. An internal investigation has revealed that he stole in excess of $378,000.

    Tse's alleged scheme involved cashing checks meant for DoubleBay and transferring company funds into his own account. He also created fake invoices to cover up his tracks. The stolen money was used to purchase a 2022 McLaren 720S sports car worth $300,000 and invest in four DoubleBay properties.

    DoubleBay is pursuing multiple claims against Tse, including theft, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and unjust enrichment. The firm's lawyers are seeking the recovery of all sums stolen by Tse and have asked the court to freeze his assets until the case is resolved.

    Tse has not responded to BusinessDen's requests for comment, as he has yet to be served with the lawsuit. DoubleBay founder Aviv Rubin declined to be interviewed.
