Robert P. Rubicco: Criminal, Liar, Fraud, Daycare Operator: Table of Contents
NEW ROCHELLE, NY (December 10, 2025) — When I first began investigating Rob Rubicco he claimed to have worked at a company called IQPC until January 2014, two and half years after he was arrested for hacking into their computer system, right up until he was sentenced to incarceration in federal prison.
That seemed unlikely.
On September 22, 2011, while still on probation in Westchester for witness tampering, Rubicco was indicted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan and arrested the next day on a charge of Fraud and Related Activity in Connection with Computer, a felony which carries a maximum possible sentence of five years imprisonment. He accepted a deal to plead guilty, under which the felony charge was reduced to a misdemeanor with no prison time. On January 24. 2012, Rubicco was sentenced by a federal judge to a year of “home detention with call verification”. On August 7, 2012, Rubicco was found to have violated the terms of his probation. On August 14, 2012, on letterhead from a company called econique, which listed him as “Managing Director of the Americas”, Rubicco applied to alter the terms of his probation from 60 hours out of the house to 85 hours out of the house. The request for alteration of his sentence was denied by the Court on the same day.
On October 11, 2012, as a result of his probation violation, Rubicco’s sentence of “home detention with call verification” was revoked. He was given probation with “home detention with electronic monitoring” — wearing an ankle bracelet.
In September 2013, despite the ankle monitor, Rubicco left the State of New York without permission from his probation officer (absconding), got drunk in a hotel bar in Boston then called his probation officer to confess he violated the terms of his probation.
On January 2, 2014, Rubicco’s probation was upgraded from “home detention” to the far more restrictive “home confinement”. Under such strict home incarceration he was allowed very little freedom — just visits to his therapist. In January 2014, as a result of his repeated probation violations including the Boston incident, a federal judge was asked by the U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services System to revoke his probation and sentence Rubicco to 30 days in federal prison as a “wake-up call”.
According to Federal Bureau of Prisons records, Rubicco was remanded to federal custody and ordered to surrender to U.S. Marshalls on January 31, 2014, to begin serving his prison term. Inmate 65754-054 was released from Federal prison on February 19, 2014.
Rubicco currently claims to be 42 years old but the Federal Bureau of Prisons records put his age at 38 when he was incarcerated in a federal penitentiary in 2014 which would put his age today at 49.
A normal person could produce a driver’s license as proof of age but as he has a history of forgery including forging his photo onto a stolen driver’s license, driving on a real but suspended license six times, and flashing a self-made police ID to match the gold shield he stole in Armonk at the Jersey Shore, it would not mean much. The important thing to understand about Rob Rubicco is everything he says, or does, or presents, needs to be fact-checked because he is an inveterate liar and what he says is likely untrue.
His LinkedIn profile is a case in point.
In 2022 he claimed to have been “Senior Vice President of Consulting Practice” at IQPC (International Quality & Productivity Centre) from April 2006 to January 2014 — three years after IQPC reported him to the FBI for hacking their computer systems.
Currently, he claims to have worked at IQPC only until May 2010 — a year before he was caught hacking into their computer system. The balance of the time he previously claimed to have worked at IQPC he now claims to have been working at two other companies: econique group and The Millennium Alliance.
As always seems to be the case with Rubicco, he is not a lowly “sales rep” or “account executive” but has far more grandiose job titles with major responsibilities. At IQPC he claims to have been “Senior Vice President of Consulting Practice”. He now claims he left there in 2010 to become “Managing Director of the Americas” of econique group until December 2013. For four months he claimed to have been both “Managing Director of the Americas” of econique group and a “Founding Member and Senior Vice President” of The Millennium Alliance, from September 2013 until December 2015.
All three are amazing job responsibilities for someone with a criminal history that goes back to high school, who served time in the county lockup, was actively serving out probation on a state witness tampering charge, who pleaded guilty to a federal computer hacking charge during this period and was serving a sentence of “home detention” while repeatedly violating the terms of his federal probation including absconding and cocaine use, then was sentenced to “home confinement” (no freedom except to see a therapist) and an ankle monitor, then did time in federal prison.
It is almost like no employers bothered to do even the most basic background check on a senior hire at their company.
Had they checked they might have asked Rubicco about his impressive dual (fake) degree from Pace University (B.A. Double Major in Business Administration, Marketing with a minor in Psychology).
Another reader says that in between his stint in county jail for drug dealing and after stealing the gold shield but before impersonating an ADA, witness tampering, a federal indictment for felony computer hacking and federal incarceration for probation violations, he claimed to be pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice at Iona College (now Iona University).
