All eight suspects have been hit with some very serious charges, including bank fraud conspiracy, money laundering, and identity theft. Homeland Security had been monitoring the situation for a whole, and according to reporters, the alleged suspects were forging checks, depositing them, and then cashing out quickly to avoid suspicion. Eventually, some people began to catch on that their bank accounts were being used for the scheme, which then led to an investigation.

It is being reported that tens of thousands of dollars were stolen here. For now, the case remains fresh which means there is still a lot that needs to be figured out. This is a developing story so stay tuned to HNHH for updates.
