Californian man has been sentenced to 46 months (3.8 years) for his role in a successful scam involving over a million-dollar scam.
Trorice Crawford, a 32-year-old man from California, is convicted and sentenced to 46 months in federal prison. The perpetrator was blatantly involved in victimizing thousands of US veterans and service members through identity theft and fraud schemes.
In addition to this, Crawford will have to pay $103,700 in restitution and will be placed on supervised release after his three-year sentence is complete.
Crawford is guilty of laundering money instruments and one count of conspiracy
The offender, pleaded guilty on 5th December 2019, to laundering monetary instruments and one count of conspiracy. He admitted, that, from May 2017 to July 2019 he along with Robert Wayne Boling Junior, and other conspirators stole money from the US veterans and service members.
He further insinuated recruiting at least thirty men as money mules for his nefarious schemes. The money mules provided their bank account numbers to receive fraudulent funds stolen from military-affiliated servicemen.
Each transaction ranged from $8000 to $13000 on average. However, Crawford would keep a specific percentage of the amount to himself and overlooked the whole transfer of funds to Boling and money mules involved in the Philippines through international monetary instruments.
Crawford’s co-defendant, Boling stole thousands of military men personal information
Crawford’s co-defendant Frederick Brown, from Las Vegas, also pleaded guilty to the federal charges and his involvement in the crime committed. Ironically, Brown was a former US army civilian medical records administrator as well.
