A Connecticut man has been accused of using fake U.S. Treasury checks to obtain more than $200,000 from a bank.<\/p>\n

Edison Jovanny Duta Pindo, 43, of Danbury, was charged in a seven-count federal indictment alleging<\/a> bank fraud, illegal monetary transactions and passing counterfeit obligations, according to the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the District of Connecticut.<\/p>\n

According to prosecutors, Pindo maintained accounts at Newtown Savings Bank under his own name and through Home Services Pro LLC, a Connecticut-registered business.<\/p>\n

Authorities allege Pindo deposited a fraudulent Treasury check worth $53,780.49 into the company\u2019s account on April 23rd, 2024. The following day, he allegedly withdrew $15,000 from a bank branch in Brookfield and another $15,000 from a branch in Bethel.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say Pindo deposited another allegedly counterfeit Treasury check, worth $150,597.28, into the same business account on May 14th, 2024.<\/p>\n

That same day, he allegedly transferred $50,000 from the company\u2019s account into his personal bank account.<\/p>\n

The indictment alleges that the two checks were part of a scheme involving the theft of U.S. Treasury funds.<\/p>\n

A federal grand jury returned the indictment on December 3rd, 2025, charging Pindo with two counts of bank fraud, three counts of conducting illegal monetary transactions and two counts of passing counterfeit obligations.<\/p>\n

Pindo was arrested in Danbury on July 16th, 2026, and has remained in custody since then.<\/p>\n

The bank fraud charges carry a maximum sentence of 30 years each, while the illegal transaction charges carry up to 10 years each and the counterfeit obligation charges carry up to 20 years each.<\/p>\n

The charges are allegations, and Pindo is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
