A 22-year-old Montgomery County man is facing three-and-a-half years behind bars for his role as a leader in a 31-person bank fraud and identity theft ring that operated out of Reading, authorities announced.
Nasir Joseph Outlaw, of King of Prussia, pleaded guilty in December 2019 to two counts of bank fraud and two counts of aggravated identity theft, First Assistant United States Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams said.
Outlaw admitted that between June and Dec 2017, he knowingly executed separate schemes to defraud First National Bank and Fulton Bank by depositing fraudulent checks and withdrawing cash, authorities said.
Outlaw said that he recruited at least six other people to participate as account holders and additional recruiters, and admitted to using the account holders’ ATM debit cards and PINs to personally deposit fraudulent checks and make cash withdrawals, authorities said.
