Greenville Man Sentenced in Access Device Fraud Conspiracy

A federal judge in South Carolina has imposed a 24-month prison sentence on a Greenville man who pleaded guilty to participating in an access device fraud conspiracy. Dalvin Michael Davenport, Jr., 23, was sentenced to 24 months imprisonment, followed by 3 years of supervised release and restitution of $30,857.89.

The sentencing came after Davenport pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit access device fraud and money laundering. According to court documents, Davenport and other members of the conspiracy recruited cashiers at various businesses to credit funds onto Green Dot, Visa and other prepaid cards without receiving payment.

Immediately after obtaining the prepaid cards, members of the conspiracy activated and depleted the cards of the fraudulently loaded funds. In total, the conspiracy resulted in a loss of over $264,000 to several businesses in South Carolina and Georgia.

The case was investigated by agents of the FBI Upstate Gang Task Force and the U. S. Treasury Department, IRS Criminal Investigation Division. Assistant United States Attorney Jeanne Howard of the Greenville office handled the case.

In addition to Davenport, other members of the conspiracy have also been sentenced. They include Vincenzo Mikkel Byers, who was sentenced to 36 months imprisonment; Cierra Andreous James, who was sentenced to 30 months imprisonment; Brandon Christopher Davis, who was sentenced to 30 months imprisonment; Tony Christopher Robinson, who was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment; Davario Rashad Clinkscale, who was sentenced to 30 months imprisonment; Eric Ross Wilson, who was sentenced to 30 months imprisonment; Terrance Justin Davis, who was sentenced to 21 months imprisonment; Quentin Nathaniel McClinton, who was sentenced to time served; and, Adam Isaiah Posley, who was sentenced to 3 years’ probation.

The sentencing in this case is a significant blow to those who would seek to exploit our financial systems for personal gain. It demonstrates the commitment of law enforcement to protecting the public and holding accountable those who engage in this type of criminal activity.
