Federal prosecutors have charged a Connecticut man with playing a central role in a scheme to steal U.S. Treasury checks from the mail.<\/p>\n

Bradleigh Rival, 23, of Stamford was arrested on September 16th and now faces counts of bank fraud, theft or possession of stolen mail and aggravated identity theft, says<\/a> the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the District of Connecticut.<\/p>\n

The investigation began in 2024 after authorities discovered that social security checks issued to recipients in Connecticut and New York had been taken from the mail.<\/p>\n

More than 100 stolen Treasury checks totaling several hundred thousand dollars were deposited into a single bank account linked to the scheme.<\/p>\n

Rival exchanged Apple Cash payments with the account holder and was tied to the operation through social media images showing large amounts of cash.<\/p>\n

Participants allegedly altered payee names on the checks before depositing them into recruited accounts and then withdrew funds via ATMs, mobile apps, cash-back purchases and postal money orders.<\/p>\n

Rival is free on a $200,000 bond while facing a maximum of 30 years in prison for bank fraud, five years for stolen mail offenses and a mandatory two-year consecutive term for aggravated identity theft.<\/p>\n

The ongoing probe involves the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, multiple inspector general offices and local police through the Connecticut Organized Financial Fraud Task Force.<\/p>\n
