North Miami Beach Resident Sentenced In Identity Theft Tax Fraud Scheme

Posted on September 18, 2014 by Dissent

Dines Blanc, 24, of North Miami Beach, was sentenced before U.S. District Judge K. Michael Moore to 42 months in prison, followed by one year of supervised release. Blanc had previously pled guilty to one count of possession of 15 or more unauthorized access devices, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1029(a)(3), and one count of aggravated identity theft, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1028A(a)(1).

According to court documents, law enforcement executed a search warrant at the residence where Blanc lived and found handwritten lists of names, dates of birth, and social security numbers of other individuals; applications to a staffing agency, including W-4s, 1-9, and resumes; medical information sheets; and approximately 25 debit cards. In total, Blanc was in possession of 611 unique pieces of personal identifying information (PII) of others. Fraudulent tax returns were filed on behalf of at least 16 individuals whose PII was found in Blanc’s residence. The loss amount is $305,500.

Gee, it would be nice to know the name of the staffing agency and where the medical information sheets came from and how he obtained them, wouldn’t it? The court records do not reveal that information, however.
