A US judge sentenced the ringleader of a large bank fraud scheme to nearly seven years in prison.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) says Jalen Tylee Hill, 26, stole numerous checks out of residential and commercial mailboxes in Georgia.
Hill would then recruit people on Facebook by offering to deposit the stolen checks into their bank accounts on the condition that they would split half the funds.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Georgia says Hill stole hundreds of pieces of mail, participated in at least 68 instances of bank fraud and illegally used other people’s debit cards on at least 14 occasions.
“Hill then deposited, or attempted to deposit, the numerous stolen, forged or otherwise fraudulent checks of more than ten financial institutions into other bank accounts, resulting in an intended loss of approximately $165,743.68.
As part of another scheme discovered by investigators, Hill created a fake solar panel installation company recruiting page online from which he stole the identities of 28 individuals, including their driver’s licenses, Social Security cards, birth certificates, instructional permits and other documents depicting personally identifiable information.”
Last year, Hill pled guilty to one count of bank fraud, one count of aggravated identity theft and one count of conspiracy to possess stolen mail.
Fourteen other codefendants have also been convicted for their participation in Hill’s scheme.
