Nassau Officer Accused Of Stealing $200K From Sick Colleague For Onlyfans And Gambling

Shocking Betrayal in Blue: Officer Accused of Theft

Hey there, darlings, buckle up for a story that’s as jaw-dropping as it is disheartening. A Nassau County police officer, Leonard Cagno, 39, from Oakdale, is in hot water after being accused of swindling a whopping $200,000 from a fellow officer who was recovering from an illness. Talk about a breach of trust!

Cagno, who also runs BW Media Consulting, LLC, was arraigned on grand larceny charges in Suffolk County Court on September 17. Prosecutors allege that between February and June 2024, he sweet-talked his colleague into investing the hefty sum into his private company, promising it was for business purposes. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.

Where Did the Money Go? A Lavish Spending Spree

Instead of using the funds for anything remotely business-related, Cagno allegedly treated himself to quite the shopping list. We’re talking a shiny new car, clearing off credit card debt, covering housing costs, and - get this - indulging in subscriptions to the adult platform OnlyFans. Oh, and let’s not forget a serious gambling habit that helped burn through the cash.

According to prosecutors, the entire $200,000 vanished in just two months. That’s right, darlings - two months! It’s a spending spree that would make even the most extravagant among us blush.

“This kind of betrayal cuts deep, especially among officers who rely on each other like family,” said a source close to the Nassau County police force.

Legal Consequences and a Call for Victims

Cagno now faces a second-degree grand larceny charge, a felony that underscores the severity of his alleged actions. Despite the serious accusation, he was released on his own recognizance due to New York’s laws deeming the charge non-bail eligible. Still, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office isn’t holding back on their condemnation.

District Attorney Raymond Tierney didn’t mince words, highlighting the profound betrayal of trust within the law enforcement community. If you or someone you know might have been a victim of Cagno’s schemes, prosecutors are urging you to reach out to the Suffolk County DA’s office at 631-853-4626. Let’s hope justice gets the last word in this scandalous saga, loves.
