PROVIDENCE – Jamal Mansaray, a 35-year-old North Providence con man, has been sentenced to 110 months in federal prison for leading a sophisticated bank fraud conspiracy and illegally possessing a firearm. United States Attorney Sara Miron Bloom announced the sentence.
Mansaray, who had already faced convictions on economic-based and firearms charges, pleaded guilty on April 29, 2025, to charges including bank fraud conspiracy, bank fraud, aggravated identity theft, and being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm. Chief Judge John J. McConnell, Jr., handed down the stiff sentence.
Court documents reveal that Mansaray orchestrated his fraudulent scheme from the comfort of his dining room table. He targeted checks from the U.S. Mail, obtaining and using personal identifying information to create and cash counterfeit checks. His actions resulted in over $70,000 in restitution orders against him.
During a May 2023 search of Mansaray’s residence, law enforcement discovered hundreds of stolen checks, blank ‘washed’ checks, more than 1,000 blank check stocks for counterfeiting, various laptops and printers, altered checks, Social Security cards, debit cards, and a temporary driver’s license in someone else’s name. A loaded firearm and ammunition were also seized from his backpack.
Mansaray had previously been convicted on federal charges of bank fraud conspiracy and aggravated ID theft in 2018, resulting in a 60-month sentence. Assistant United States Attorneys Christine D. Lowell and John P. McAdams prosecuted this case, while the United States Postal Inspection Service and Rhode Island State Police conducted the investigation.
