(KRON) -- A man who owns a San Jose-based management company was sentenced Wednesday to serve six months in jail for embezzling money from over a dozen hotels.Henry Flynn, 57, owner and CEO of Kubo, provided management services to small hotels in Lake Tahoe and the San Francisco Bay Area. Flynn was previously convicted in 2008 of grand theft for embezzling from his then-employer, Vasona Management.

However, when the insurance providers refunded the over-payments, Flynn pocketed the refund checks and put some of them into his personal accounts, th...
