Florida Home Depot manager charged over $4M in unauthorized discounts
Florida Home Depot manager Mauricio Jimenez, 48, was arrested on organized fraud and first-degree grand theft charges after allegedly slashing prices on about 4,500 transactions—totalling roughly $55 million—across multiple stores from December 2023 to April 2026 to boost his bonuses; the scheme allegedly cost the company more than $4 million in unauthorized discounts. Investigators say he abused internal systems to discount orders for repeat core clients; Jimenez was released on a $15,000 bond and ordered to stay away from Home Depot, while his lawyer denies any kickbacks. Home Depot did not comment.
