Nathan Hardwick IV, the former managing partner of Morris Hardwick Schneider, has been indicted on federal charges of conspiracy, wire fraud, bank fraud and making false statements in connection with his alleged embezzlement of more than $20 million from the residential real estate closing firm’s escrow and operating accounts, and those of its affiliated title agency, LandCastle Title.

The firm’s former chief financial officer, Asha Maurya, was also indicted on conspiracy and wire fraud charges in the indictment, unsealed Monday. It alleges she assisted Hardwick in his theft and separately stole about $900,000 from the firm’s accounts to pay her own personal expenses.
