Makieta Leake, 36 years old, of Prince Frederick, Md, plead guilty to a single count of conspiracy to commit bakn fraud Tuesday in federal court in Alexandria, VA.
She was the fifth person to plead guilty in the scheme that resulted in more than $2 million in losses at 10 banks.
Leake was a doctor's receptionist and admitted stealing bank account information from 37 patients as part of the ID Theft ring that took advantage of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernacke.
She was paid between $200 and $500 for each victim's information. About 40% of the above losses can be traced to her.
Note: It still amazes me that most healthcare professionals still don't know about the FTC's Red Flags Rule and that the must comply with this amendment to the FACTA law. Enforcement begins 11/01/09.
We can assist any business with the Red Flags or FACTA training of their employees. For more info visit http://www.redflagsrulepolicy.com/ or call me.
