7M Treasury Check Scam: Nevada Man Kyle Duncan-Carle Arrested
St. George, Utah – A brazen scheme to defraud multiple credit unions has landed a Nevada man in hot water. Kyle Eugene Duncan-Carle, 40, of Las Vegas, was arrested over the weekend in Lyon County, Nevada, after allegedly stealing over $7 million worth of Treasury checks.
According to court documents, Duncan-Carle carried out the scheme from January 2023 through September 2023 in the District of Utah. He obtained stolen U.S. Treasury checks made out to individuals and companies, assumed their identities, opened credit union accounts under the assumed identities, and then deposited the checks and withdrew the funds.
The scheme resulted in Duncan-Carle obtaining at least six stolen treasury checks that totaled $7,075,695.55. In one incident in April 2023, Duncan-Carle assumed a victim’s identity, opened an American First Credit Union account under the victim’s name, and deposited a stolen tax-refund check for $821,333 made out to the victim.
Duncan-Carle is charged with bank fraud, aggravated identity theft, and receipt of stolen government property. His initial court appearance on the indictment will take place at a United States District Courthouse in Nevada.
U.S. Attorney Trina A. Higgins of the District of Utah made the announcement. The case is being investigated by the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigations (IRS-CI); the Internal Revenue Service Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA); and the FBI Salt Lake City Field Office.
Assistant United States Attorneys Stephen P. Dent and Luisa Gough of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Utah are prosecuting the case. An indictment is merely an allegation and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
The brazen nature of Duncan-Carle’s scheme is a stark reminder of the dangers of identity theft and the importance of protecting sensitive information. As the investigation continues, one thing is clear: Duncan-Carle will face the music for his alleged crimes.
The full extent of Duncan-Carle’s scheme is still unclear, but one thing is certain – he will have his day in court. The people of Utah and Nevada demand justice, and we will be there to deliver it.
