BUFFALO, N.Y. – A Buffalo man is heading to prison for possessing 15 or more unauthorized access devices with intent to defraud and possession with intent to distribute cocaine.
Corey Robert Dodge a/k/a Cakesbaylor, 43, of Buffalo, NY, was sentence to serve 41 months in prison by U.S. District Judge John L. Sinatra, Jr.
In addition, Dodge was ordered to forfeit $27,000, which represented proceeds of his criminal activities.
The sentencing is the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Matthew Miraglia, and the Buffalo Police Department, under the direction of Commissioner Alphonso Wright.
According to the FBI, since August 2018, they have been investigating an illicit online marketplace known as Genesis Market, whose operators compile stolen data, such as computer and mobile device identifiers, email addresses, usernames, and passwords, from malware-infected computers around the globe and package it for sale on the market.
Purchases made through Genesis Market are conducted using virtual currency, such as bitcoin.
Between March 26, 2020, and May 30, 2021, Dodge purchased 14 packages on Genesis Market, that included stolen account credentials. The stolen credentials included accounts for Paypal, Tracfone, eBay, Amazon, FedEx, Etsy, Walmart, Chase, Venmo, and eTrade.
On April 3, 2023, the FBI executed a search warrant at Dodge’s residence to search for evidence related to his use of Genesis Marketplace. During the search, the FBI also found and seized quantities of fentanyl, cocaine, MDMA, ketamine, and drug paraphernalia.
