Akron Men Charged with Counterfeiting Conspiracy
Two Akron men have been charged with a counterfeiting conspiracy that rocked the city’s financial sector. Jerry Reynolds, 44, and Marvin Reynolds, 34, were indicted on three counts of conspiracy to possess and utter counterfeit checks.
According to the indictment, the Reynolds brothers knowingly and intentionally recruited individuals to possess and utter counterfeited and forged checks of an organization, which activities affected interstate or foreign commerce.
The grand jury also charged both men with two counts of possessing and uttering counterfeit checks, or causing another to possess and utter a counterfeit check, on July 13, 2013.
Steven M. Dettelbach, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, announced the indictment, stating that the sentences of the defendants will be determined by the court after review of factors unique to this case, including the defendant’s prior criminal record, if any, his role in the offenses and the unique characteristics of the violations.
If convicted, the sentences will not exceed the statutory maximum and in most cases will be less than the maximum.
The investigation is being conducted by the United States Secret Service with assistance from the Norton Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Kevin Culum, Special Assistant United States Attorney.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
