Man Sentenced to Federal Prison for Leading Widescale Check Fraud Scheme That Resulted in $165,743 in Losses

Oy vey! A judge, a *federal* judge no less, gave this schmuck nearly seven years in the slammer! 🚓 For what, you ask? A bank fraud scheme so big, it’d make Al Capone blush! 💰

The U.S. Department of Justice (those guys with the serious faces) says this fella, Jalen Tylee Hill, age 26 – a mere *child*! – was pilfering checks from mailboxes all over Georgia. Residential, commercial, you name it, he grabbed it! Like a kleptomaniac at a post office! 📬

And get this, he’s putting ads on Facebook! Offering half the funds to anyone who’d let him deposit those hot checks into their accounts. A regular Bernie Madoff, but with less hair and more chutzpah! 😜

The U.S. Attorney’s Office says he stole *hundreds* of pieces of mail! Participated in at least 68 instances of bank fraud! And illegally used other people’s debit cards on at least 14 occasions! The nerve of some people! 😠

“Hill then deposited, or attempted to deposit, the numerous stolen, forged or otherwise fraudulent checks of more than ten financial institutions into other bank accounts, resulting in an intended loss of approximately $165,743.68.

As part of another scheme discovered by investigators, Hill created a fake solar panel installation company recruiting page online from which he stole the identities of 28 individuals, including their driver’s licenses, Social Security cards, birth certificates, instructional permits and other documents depicting personally identifiable information.” What a putz!

Last year, he pled guilty! Bank fraud, identity theft, conspiracy! The trifecta of tsuris! 😫

Fourteen other codefendants also got caught up in this meshugas. They’re all kvetching now, I’m sure. 😂
