A St. Petersburg postal clerk has pleaded guilty to stealing mail and passport applications to commit bank fraud. According to court documents, Jasmine Wynne (31, Ruskin) was employed as a Postal Clerk with the United States Postal Service and was assigned to a Post Office in St. Petersburg.
Between June 2017 and September 2019, Wynne conspired with others to commit bank fraud by opening First Class mail entrusted for delivery to the Postal Service. She then photographed the contents of the mail, including victim bank account information and personal identifying information.
Wynne also took photographs of United States Passport applications that were processed at her Post Office location, which contained personal identifying information and bank account information. She then emailed the photographs to co-conspirators who used the information to commit bank fraud.
Wynne’s scheme came to an end when she was charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud, five counts of aggravated identity theft, and one count of theft of a postal key. She faces up to 30 years in federal prison for the conspiracy count, 2 years’ imprisonment for the aggravated identity theft charges, and up to 10 years in prison for theft of a postal key.
The case was investigated by the United States Postal Inspection Service and the U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Craig Gestring.
Jasmine Wynne’s sentencing hearing has been scheduled for November 17, 2021.
