A U.S. District Court judge in Massachusetts has sentenced Duykhoa Nguyen, 29, of Auburn, MA to 9 months in prison and ordered him to pay $185,000 in restitution for his role in a identify theft conspiracy involving Sovereign Bank’s customers.
The case involved the theft of account numbers and dates of birth from bank customers in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Fraudulent documents were used to withdraw $185,000 from accounts.
Ngugyen received 10% of the monies withdrawn, according to the court. He pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy and one count of bank fraud on Feb. 12.
