Trevor Kintaro Lichnock-Gembe, 29, of Fair Oaks, has been sentenced to four years and 10 months in prison for bank fraud, aggravated identity theft, and unlawful possession of identification documents of others, says U.S. Attorney Phillip Talbert.
According to court documents, between June 2015, and June 2016, Mr. Lichnock-Gembe and co-defendant Shellby Moore, 29, of Sacramento, stole mail and obtained other stolen property containing personal and financial information of victims from residential and vehicle burglaries in Placer County, Sacramento County, and El Dorado County.
The two used stolen mail and victim identification and financial information to alter and manufacture checks that were cashed at the expense of local banks and credit unions.
Mr. Lichnock-Gembe possessed over five different stolen victim identifications, and he and Ms. Moore opened bank accounts using the stolen personal and financial information in order to deposit stolen checks and withdraw cash.
On March 13, Ms. Moore pleaded guilty to aggravated ID theft and using methamphetamine while in federal custody. She is scheduled for sentencing on June 8 when she will face a possible maximum statutory penalty of five years in prison.
