Postal Pinch

The mailman stealeth:

Bank surveillance footage showed Muchimba conducting deposits and withdrawals with stolen funds, which he later spent on luxury hotels, international travel, and gentlemen’s clubs, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. “According to court documents, between December 2020 and March 2023, Muchimba was an employee of the U.S. Postal Service when he executed a scheme to steal U.S. Treasury checks and private party checks from the U.S. mail,” the DOJ said in a statement. “Muchimba then deposited the checks, which he either altered and/or falsely endorsed, into bank accounts under his control.” “The total amount of the U.S. Treasury checks fraudulently deposited into Muchimba’s various bank accounts was just over $1.6 million,” prosecutors added. “Muchimba used the proceeds of the stolen checks to fund a lavish lifestyle that included international travel, stays at luxury hotels, and purchases at gentlemen’s clubs.”

It's good work if you can get it...
