A Virginia woman helped set up a fake company, then created a bank account for the sham business as part of a plan to cash a stolen check worth nearly $470,000, federal prosecutors said.
A Greensboro, North Carolina company mailed the check through the U.S. Postal Service to Solutionz Inc., a California-based technology business in September 2021, according to court documents.
Then it was stolen from the mail before Solutionz received it, court documents say.
The woman, 51, of Farmville, has pleaded guilty to a conspiracy to commit bank fraud, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia said in a Nov. 6 news release.
