DA VANCE AND NYPD: 55 DEFENDANTS INDICTED IN WIDESPREAD “INSIDER” CYBERFRAUD SCHEME
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., today announced the indictments of 55 individuals for their participation in an organized identity theft and financial crime ring that relied on corrupt employees at banks, a non-profit institution, a high-end car dealership, and a real estate management company to steal and traffic in the names, dates of birth, addresses, Social Security numbers, and financial account information of unsuspecting victims. The conspirators used the stolen information in a variety of schemes designed and executed to defraud both the victims who had provided their information to the organizations where the insiders worked and the financial institutions themselves.
The various defendants are charged in five separate indictments, which accuse them of stealing the identities of more than 200 individuals and organizations, many of them who were repeatedly victimized, and stealing more than $2 million from a number of financial institutions, including JP Morgan Chase Bank (Chase Bank), TD Bank, Citibank, Discover, and American Express. The charges include Conspiracy to Commit Grand Larceny in the First Degree, Grand Larceny in the Second, Third, and Fourth Degrees, Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in the Fourth Degree, Identity Theft in the Second Degree and Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument.[1] The crimes charged in the indictments occurred between May 2010 and September 2011. The investigation is continuing.
“No organization or individual is immune to the threat of cybercrime,” said District Attorney Vance. “From ATM skimmers, to waiters stealing credit card info, to the exploitation of systemic weaknesses in bank systems, we are attacking cybercrime and identity theft head on. Today’s indictment reveals another tool of organized identity thieves – insiders who betray their employers and prey on clients. These insiders used their positions to gain access to client data, and then sold that data to make money for themselves and their accomplices. We will continue to work with our partners to build significant cases to disrupt identity theft and dismantle these criminal organizations.”
Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said: “The checks didn’t bounce but they left a bread crumb trail right back to the suspects. I commend the NYPD’s Financial Crimes Task Force and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office for catching these thieves and shutting down their operation."
The indictments and arrests are the culmination of an 18-month investigation, which used court-ordered eavesdropping, physical surveillance, computer forensics, and extensive analysis of credit card, banking and phone records.
Insiders
According to documents filed in court and statements made on the record in court, members of the conspiracy are accused of recruiting at least four insiders to steal, sell, exchange, and fraudulently use the stolen personal identifying information of donors, customers and tenants from the organizations where they worked.
- TRACEY NELSON was employed by the United Jewish Appeal-Federation (UJA) for three years, and had access to donor information at UJA in her position as an Operations, Production and Reporting Representative. Her duties and responsibilities included the processing of donations made to UJA by both check and credit card. NELSON is accused of stealing the personal identifying information of hundreds of victims.
- ROBERTO MILLAR,a/k/a “ROBBIE,”was employed by Open Road-Audi of Brooklyn (Audi), where he had access to customer information in his position as a car salesman. MILLAR is charged with personally using the information stolen from UJA and Audi of Brooklyn/Open Road to commit fraudulent financial transactions, and with stealing the personal identifying information of more than 900 victims.
- NICOLA BENNETT was employed as a Compliance Officer by AKAM Associates Inc. (AKAM), a residential property management company. In this position, she had access to payments made by clients of AKAM, particularly those making maintenance payments on apartments in New York City. BENNETT is accused of stealing the personal identifying information of more than a dozen victims.
- KAREN CHANCE was employed as a teller at the Chase Bank branch at 498 7th Avenue, and is charged with illegally accessing information from multiple banking customers’ accounts.
Members of the conspiracy also recruited two additional charged tellers at Chase Bank, MERCY ADEBANDJO at the 20 Flatbush Avenue branch in Brooklyn and JOANNA GIERCZACK at 245 Seventh Avenue branch in Manhattan, to help them conduct fraudulent banking transactions. By allowing these transactions to occur, and turning a blind eye to them, these corrupt employees made sure that the transactions were not immediately detected by anti-fraud and anti-money laundering systems employed by Chase Bank.
Buyers/Middlemen
According to documents filed in court and statements made on the record in court, once the insiders had committed identity theft, the stolen personal data was then sold or provided to seven accused buyers who would commit fraud with the information, or else resell it to other criminals who would do the same.
From the insiders at UJA and Audi, JAMAAL ANTHONY, a/k/a “GUCCI,” JOSIAH BOATWAINS, a/k/a “PEPSI,” CHRIPSTOPHER TENN, a/k/a “CHIN,” a/k/a “TUGS,” TAFARIE GLASGOW, a/k/a “TIGGA,” JAMEL ANNUNZIATA, a/k/a “JAMES REID,” a/k/a “TADA,” ALTON JAMEISON, a/k/a “AGES,” and DARRYL RILEY are charged with buying stolen personal identifying information, then selling it to other co-conspirators so they could commit fraudulent financial transactions.
From the insider working at AKAM, SHAUN WILLIAMS, a/k/a “BRUSH,” is accused of buying stolen personal identifying information, then both selling that stolen personal indentifying information to others and using it himself to commit fraudulent financial transactions through the use of counterfeit checks.
From the insider working at Chase Bank, DEAN MAPP, ANTHONY, and GLASGOW are charged with obtaining personal identifying information of bank account holders and using it to commit further fraudulent financial transactions.
Recruiters/Collusive Bank Account Holders
According to documents filed in court and statements made on the record in court, recruiters in the conspiracy played a dual role. They would traffic in stolen personal identifying information, buying the information from others. Once they possessed stolen data, they also needed to recruit collusive account holders to provide valid bank accounts through which the recruiters and their confederates could commit fraud. The recruiters would use their accounts to deposit counterfeit checks or conduct fraudulent monetary transfers.
The following defendants are charged with acting as recruiters in this fashion: ANDY PETITHOMME, WALTER MCKINNEY a/k/a “POP,” MARK CAMPBELL, KARRONE ALFRED, JOHN DOE, a/k/a “JD MICHELE BROWN,” JOHN DOE, a/k/a “JD KEVIN NONE RODRIGUEZ,” JOHN DOE, a/k/a “JD KING JOFFY,” and JOHN DOE, a/k/a “JD PAUL NONE LIVINGSTON.”
Meanwhile, collusive account holders AJIRE GOLDEN, ANTHONY PARKER, CHARLES KELLY, DIOR KYLE DUMOY, ALDORAY IRVING, ARLY MOISE, BRANDON WHITE, CASSILDA MITCHELL, EBONY DAWKINS, ERICA BROWN, EVELYN WALKER, JESSICA RODRIGUEZ, JONATHAN TUCKER, KURT RUSSELL, LAQUASHIA SEABERRY, LIANA GUISCHARD, and NICOLE LEACH VITALIS, are charged with providing legitimate bank accounts, checks, and debit cards to other members of the conspiracy for the purpose of depositing counterfeit checks and obtaining funds transferred from victim bank accounts.
The accused members of the conspiracy are also charged with using the debit cards of collusive bank accounts holders in order to withdraw stolen funds. WILLIAMS, CLAUDE GASKIN a/k/a “T.C.,” ANTHONY, and TENN are charged with possessing Chase debit cards belonging to the collusive bank account holders, and using the debit cards to withdraw funds from the accounts.
Often the members of the conspiracy wanted to withdraw stolen funds from the collusive accounts quickly, and this was sometimes accomplished by purchasing United States Postal Service Money Orders with the debit cards linked to the collusive account. KINO CHARLES, UMAR CREDLE, a/k/a “TREASURE,” CARLOS WHITE, GASKIN, JAMEISON, and MAPP are charged with cashing Postal Service Money Orders purchased with funds from the collusive accounts.
Large amounts of personal identifying information from the victims was trafficked between members of the conspiracy in order to commit fraud. JOHN DOE, a/k/a “JD PAUL NONE LIVINGSTON,” hansy jean-pierre, a/k/a“biggy small,” CAMPBELL, ALFRED, JAMEISON, MCKINNEY, GLASGOW, ANNUNZIATA, JOHN DOE, a/k/a “JD MICHELE BROWN,” ANTHONY, BOATWAINS, WILLIAMS, NELSON, and MILLAR are charged with trafficking personal identifying information of Chase accountholders with one another and other members of the conspiracy.
Check Makers
According to documents filed in court and statements made on the record in court, the conspiracy also relied on counterfeit check makers. TENN and ANTHONY are charged with using stolen identity theft victims’ personal and bank account information to design, manufacture, and create counterfeit checks, which were made payable to collusive account holders. As charged in the indictment, TENN and ANTHONY distributed the counterfeit checks to other members of the conspiracy to be cashed or deposited at various bank branches.
Account Verifiers
According to documents filed in court and statements made on the record in court, once an account was obtained for fraudulent purposes, conspirators would verify the account information and balance of the accounts with Chase Bank. Often, they would order credit reports of the victims to learn more about them and be able to answer security questions in order to open additional accounts and credit cards in the victims’ names. JOHN DOE, a/k/a “JD CHUCK,” ANTHONY, MAPP, BOATWAINS, and WILLIAMS, are accused with accessing Chase customer accounts, both of collusive account holders and identity theft victims, in order to verify account and balance information, and in order to conduct fraudulent banking transactions.
Account Take-Overs
According to documents filed in court and statements made on the record in court, BOATWAINS is charged with using victims’ personal identifying information to take over their Chase credit card accounts. To do this, BOATWAINS would change the personal identifying information on the identity theft victims’ Chase records, such as their contact addresses, phone numbers and email addresses. BOATWAINS would then request that the stolen credit cards be mailed to an address in Brooklyn where defendant RICHARD RAMOS, using his position at United Parcel Service, would intercept the mailed stolen credit cards and provide them to BOATWAINS for money. BOATWAINS, along with DAN HAZAN and MCKINNEY, are accused of using these stolen credit cards to purchase merchandise, including luxury items from Manhattan stores including Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Salvatore Ferragamo, and the like. Some items, such as electronics, were sold to YOUNIS ABIDAR, as well as others for resale on the black market.
District Attorney Vance encourages members of the public to take the following steps to keep themselves safe from cybercrime.
Protect Yourself from Identity Theft
- At least once a year, order credit reports from the 3 credit bureaus and look for unusual activity.
- Monitor your accounts often – if you receive monthly statements in the mail, use online tools to monitor bank and credit card activity more frequently.
- Shred all documents containing personal data before throwing them in the garbage.
- Keep track of when your bills are received – missing bills can be a red flag for ID theft.
- Protect your Social Security number. Never provide it unless you are fully confident that the information is going to a legitimate organization.
- If someone does fall victim to ID theft, he or she should immediately notify any institution where they have an account. Also, a fraud alert should be placed on your credit report so you will be contacted if someone tries to open a false account in your name.
