Since at least 2017, Kevin Lennon of Taunton, Massachusetts allegedly defrauded multiple victims who purchased vending machine routes from KBL out of approximately $187,500, according to Attorney General Maura Healey.
Lennon was released on personal recognizance under the condition that he have no contact with victims and witnesses, give up his passport and not travel beyond Massachusetts or Rhode Island without permission.
