GROUP MADE $3 MILLION IN BANK FRAUD SCHEME INVOLVING STOLEN MAIL
News Maven
A $3 million bank fraud scheme in Charlotte, NC just sent Terrell Freeman, 35, Joshua Monteith, 32, and Yanalise Hodge, 23, to prison. The scheme involved stolen checks and mail. The suspects were sentenced to prison on September 20, 2022.
Prosecutors say in November 2020 that the suspects engaged in a bank fraud scheme involving stolen mail. Business checks and other mail from U.S. Postal Service collection boxes and business mailboxes were stolen in Charlotte and elsewhere.
The suspects allegedly cashed the stolen checks using fraudulent identifications and straw bank accounts before the victim banks detected the fraud. The fraud scheme was executed in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Virginia, according to prosecutors.
