St. George, Utah – An indictment was unsealed today following the arrest of a Nevada man who was indicted earlier this month by a federal grand jury for multiple federal crimes, including bank fraud.
According to court documents, Kyle Eugene Duncan-Carle, 40, of Las Vegas, Nevada carried out a scheme to defraud multiple credit unions from January 2023 through September 2023 in the District of Utah. Duncan-Carle conducted the scheme by obtaining stolen U.S. Treasury checks made out to individuals and companies, assuming the identity of the individuals whose names were on the checks, opening credit union accounts under the assumed identities, and then depositing the checks and withdrawing the funds. The scheme resulted in Duncan-Carle obtaining at least six stolen treasury checks that totaled $7,075,695.55. This included an incident in April 2023 when Duncan-Carle assumed a victim’s identity, opened an American First Credit Union account under the victim’s name, and deposited a stolen tax-refund check for $821,333 made out to the victim. Duncan-Carle was arrested over the weekend in Lyon County, Nevada.
