Omaha Man Faces Charges: Bowling Alley Investments Redirected

Omaha Man Charged with Felony for Swindling Investments in Bellevue Bowling Alley

An Omaha man is facing felony charges in Cass County after being accused of swindling thousands of dollars from victims who believed they were investing in a Bellevue bowling alley he managed. Court documents reveal that 61-year-old Steven Sempeck allegedly stole $55,000 from one of the victims, redirecting the funds to cover expenses for his own bowling alley in Beatrice. Sempeck, who previously owned a bowling alley in Elkhorn, approached the victims in March 2002 and convinced them to invest $25,000 each in The Alley, promising a 10% return on investment. However, Sempeck failed to deliver on his promises, leaving the victims at a loss.
