Birmingham man sentenced in $10 million-plus app-based check fraud targeting churches, charities
AL.com
A Birmingham man has been sentenced to federal prison for his role running an app-based and seemingly lucrative fake check scheme that allegedly took more than $10 million from businesses, charitable groups and individuals.
U.S. District Judge Madeline Haikala sentenced Mekhi Diwone Harris, 25, to 10 years in prison and ordered him to forfeit $160,000.
Harris was arrested last year and in April 2024 pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud.
