Posted on July 28, 2010 by Dissent

Maria Elena DeHoyos-Ortiz, 33, Linzy Jerome Hopkins, 27, and Ricardo Ricky Ramacho, II, 28, are charged with multiple counts of conspiracy to commit identity theft. King County Sheriff’s Detectives say they compromised at least 135 accounts to the tune of approximately $75,000, and that number could grow.
