A payment processing broker has been sentenced to three years in prison for helping sham merchants steal and attempt to steal $14 million from business bank accounts.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) says<\/a> Jeremy Todd Briley, 47, of Happy Valley, Oregon, worked as a broker who helped merchants find payment processors in the United States.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, Briley\u2019s two biggest clients were fake companies that claimed to provide online marketing services to businesses.<\/p>\n

Instead, authorities say the companies used fraudulent debits to pull money from victims\u2019 bank accounts without authorization.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say the scheme caused more than $14 million in unauthorized debits and attempted debits.<\/p>\n

From February 2017 to December 2023, Briley allegedly helped the sham companies obtain and maintain access to payment processors so they could continue processing the fraudulent transactions.<\/p>\n

Authorities say Briley knew the companies were fraudulently debiting bank accounts.<\/p>\n

Despite receiving repeated warnings that the debits were unauthorized, prosecutors say Briley helped conceal the companies\u2019 activity.<\/p>\n

Court documents also say Briley arranged for a payment processor to deceive banks by manipulating return rates tied to the fraudulent debits.<\/p>\n

Briley pleaded guilty in April 2026 to one count of wire fraud.<\/p>\n

In addition to his three-year prison sentence, Briley was ordered to serve three years of supervised release and forfeit $460,000 in fraud proceeds.<\/p>\n
