Kansas City woman faces federal charges in $1.9M Treasury fraud
KTTN.com
A federal court in Kansas City, Mo., has charged Briauna L. Adams, 28, with multiple counts of fraud and identity theft. Authorities allege that Adams engaged in a sophisticated scheme involving the deposit of over $1.9 million in fraudulent U.S. Treasury checks using stolen identities.
The criminal complaint, unveiled on Wednesday, highlights that Adams was apprehended and is currently held pending a detention hearing. The initial incident traced back to March 2024, when Adams reportedly used a stolen identity to open a bank account and deposit a U.S. Treasury check, which was subsequently flagged as fraudulent.
Further accusations include a June 2024 incident where Adams deposited a check for $450,504 into an investment account, leading to a temporary allowance of funds for investment before the discovery of the check’s fraudulent nature resulted in a reversal of the transaction.
