Ronsdell Demon Washington, 45,must pay $39,890 in restitution, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s office in Raleigh.Washington pled guilty in October 2008 to conspiring to commit bank fraud and aiding and abetting bank fraud.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s office, Washington recruited individuals to defraud banks including BB&T and Wachovia through a complex scheme that involved depositing stolen or counterfeit checks into bank accounts. Once money was put into accounts, co-conspirators would take out money orders to get the funds.“The sentence imposed by the Court in this case reflects the serious nature of the case and the complex scheme put in place to carry out the crime,” Acting U.S. Attorney John Stuart Bruce, who handled the case, said in a statement. “We’re grateful for the diligent work of the Postal Inspection Service in the investigation of this matter.”
