Fraudster Strikes Again: Dedham Man Charged with Bank Fraud
A Dedham man has been charged with bank fraud and money laundering in a federal court in Boston.
Wyoming Killingbarrows, 30, who was born with the name Patricio Junio Brito Pontes Barros, was charged with four counts of bank fraud and one count of money laundering on April 14, 2025.
The charges against Killingbarrows stem from an alleged scheme in which he submitted 18 fraudulent bank loan applications between June 2, 2021, and July 17, 2021. In the various loan applications, Killingbarrows allegedly used his birth name of Patricio Barros, misrepresented his income, and submitted fraudulent paystubs from a company in support of his applications.
According to court documents, various banks issued loans to Killingbarrows totaling $329,002 based on these misrepresentations. It is alleged that Killingbarrows failed to pay back any of the loans.
Killingbarrows used the money for various personal expenses, including investments, and was also charged with one count of money laundering for the use of the criminally derived funds.
The charges of bank fraud each provide for a sentence of up to 30 years in prison, five years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $1,000,000. The money laundering charge provides for a sentence of up to 10 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000 or twice the amount of the criminally derived property involved in the transaction.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian J. Sullivan of the Narcotics and Money Laundering Unit is prosecuting the case.
