Bank Fraud Ringleader Conspires With Insider, Drains $345,014 From Accounts: DOJ
The leader of a bank fraud ring conspired with a credit union insider to steal $345,014 from members’ accounts, according to the Department of Justice.
Aneicia Ford took advantage of her role as a contact center employee for a western Washington credit union, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
The 33-year-old has been convicted of using her access to personally identifying information to steal information that the mastermind, Dangelo Roberts, and other conspirators used to take over accounts and steal funds.
Prosecutors say the fraudsters used the stolen account information to obtain false IDs, which allowed them to get new debit cards and withdraw from the victims’ accounts.
Roberts taught his co-conspirators to increase the ATM withdrawal limits so they could get as much as $25,000 in cash. He also told them to spend the victims’ funds by ordering cashier’s checks or purchasing postal money orders payable to them or their associates.
Six people were charged in the scheme, with Roberts sentenced to three years in prison and Ford facing a mandatory minimum of two years at her upcoming sentencing.
