Defendants Ordered to Pay $28,483 in Restitution
Malik Delima and Shaun Wray, both 26 and from Brooklyn, New York, have been sentenced for their roles in a credit card fraud conspiracy that took place in Maine in 2015.
According to court records, Delima and Wray were part of a group that traveled from New York to Maine in March 2015 to commit credit card fraud. They purchased equipment used to manufacture fraudulent credit cards, obtained stolen credit card account numbers from a source in Ukraine, and used them at retailers in Maine and elsewhere.
The conspiracy involved over 1,100 stolen credit card accounts, and law enforcement personnel executed a federal search warrant at an apartment in Auburn, Maine, where they seized over 100 fraudulent credit cards, numerous blank gift cards, and equipment used to manufacture fraudulent credit cards.
Delima was sentenced to 75 months in prison, while Wray received a 20-month sentence. Both defendants were also ordered to serve three years of supervised release and pay $28,483 in restitution.
The joint investigation that led to the defendants’ convictions was conducted by the U.S. Secret Service, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Auburn Police Department, with assistance from the Maine State Police Crime Laboratory.
The case serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance in preventing and detecting credit card fraud. As we continue to navigate the complexities of modern commerce, it is essential that law enforcement and the public work together to protect against these types of crimes.
