PROVIDENCE – In a gritty sentence, North Providence’s Jamal Mansaray, 35, was today locked away for 110 months in federal prison. His conviction stems from his leadership of a well-organized conspiracy to defraud banks and steal personal information.
Mansaray, who has faced multiple economic-based and firearms charges, pleaded guilty on April 29, 2025, to bank fraud conspiracy, bank fraud, aggravated identity theft, and prohibited person in possession of a firearm. He was also ordered to pay over $70,000 in restitution to various financial institutions.
The court records show that Mansaray executed the scheme from his dining room table, where he stole checks from the U.S. Mail and obtained personal and business identifying information. This data was used to alter checks, create fraudulent ones, and access bank accounts fraudulently.
A May 2023 search of Mansaray’s residence yielded a treasure trove of evidence: hundreds of stolen checks, blank ‘washed’ checks, over 1,000 blank check stocks for counterfeits, laptops, 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 found in his possession—a stark reminder of the dangers of Mansaray’s actions.
In 2018, Mansaray was previously convicted on federal charges of bank fraud conspiracy and aggravated ID theft. He was handed a 60-month sentence and three years’ supervised release at that time.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service and Rhode Island State Police led the investigation into this latest crime, which Assistant United States Attorneys Christine D. Lowell and John P. McAdams prosecuted.
