<h2 class="node-title">Kyle Cary Sentenced to Prison for Conspiracy to Commit Bank Fraud</h2>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">ALEXANDRIA, Va. – The last in a gang of young con-men who fleeced banks and individuals of over $700,000 will now be a resident of a federal prison following being sentenced last week. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Kyle Cary, 25, of Hyattsville, Maryland, was sentenced April 8, 2016, to 40 months in prison and three years of supervised release for conspiracy to commit bank fraud for his role in a five-year check fraud and identity theft conspiracy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Cary pleaded guilty on January 8. As detailed in the below chart, seven co-conspirators were previously sentenced to significant prison terms for their roles in this same conspiracy which included stolen social security numbers and other identification fraud.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">According to statements of fact filed with the plea agreements, Ray Ekobena and his younger brother, Stefan Ekobena, printed fraudulent checks using victims’ bank account information. The Ekobenas obtained victims’ bank account information by enlisting bank tellers and other insiders who had access to sensitive personal information through their employment. The Ekobenas also employed a network of recruiters. One such recruiter was Cary (aka Hugo Stacks), who would recruit bank account holders to provide him with their debit card, the PIN for the debit card, and other information which Cary would then provide to his co-conspirators via middlemen such as Gani Cole and Rodney Hardy. Co-conspirators such as Jerome Johnson, Deallto Davis</span>,<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> and Alan Lamin also furthered the conspiracy by depositing the fraudulent checks into bank accounts under false names and withdrawing the resulting funds before the banks discovered the fraud. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In total, the conspiracies victimized over 200 individuals and caused an actual loss amount of $712,231. Victims include well-known small businesses and charities, including the Leukemia &; Lymphoma Society.</span></p>
