Nineteen people have pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bank fraud in a Florida state scheme tied to a street gang, says the U.S. Department of Justice.<\/p>\n

The defendants are associated with the \u2018Trap Boys\u2019 gang, and engaged in impersonation schemes, stolen identities and fraudulent activities targeting banks across Florida.<\/p>\n

The DOJ says<\/a> the group carried out an organized conspiracy involving multiple fraudulent bank transactions over an extended period, resulting in significant losses to financial institutions and customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of this conspiracy, the co-conspirators stole checks from individuals and businesses. Using check writing software, the co-conspirators then altered those checks and created fictitious checks, changing the banks, businesses, and the check amounts. <\/em><\/p>\n

Using automated systems and online databases, the co-conspirators then learned of the banking information of various businesses, including their transaction history, account balances, check numbers and other information. <\/em><\/p>\n

Members of the conspiracy then recruited accomplices who provided members of this conspiracy with their own bank account numbers, Social Security numbers, debit cards, and their own individual bank account log credentials and passwords. The co-conspirators then deposited the fraudulently created checks at dozens of banks and credit unions throughout the Middle District of Florida.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The coordinated law enforcement effort led to the guilty pleas announced on July 15th.<\/p>\n

The case was investigated with assistance from federal agencies, and the announcement was made by the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the Middle District of Florida.<\/p>\n
