Miami-Dade Resident Sentenced In Stolen Identity Unemployment Insurance Fraud Scheme

Posted on October 25, 2014 by Dissent

Rodney Fleurimond, 24, of Miami, was sentenced this week before U.S. District Judge Federico A. Moreno to twenty-four months and one day in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release. Fleurimond was furthered ordered to pay $60,405 in restitution.

Fleurimond previously entered a plea of guilty to one count of fraudulently using unauthorized access devices to obtain anything of value aggregative over $1,000, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1029(a)(2), and one count of aggravated identity theft, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1028A(a)(1).

According to court records, from October 20, 2013 through June 26, 2014, the State of Florida unemployment insurance claims of at least 188 victims were accessed online from Fleurimond’s residences using the victims’ personally identifying information, including their names and social security numbers. A total of $60,405 in fraudulent unemployment insurance benefits was paid into bank accounts controlled or used by Fleurimond. Specifically, the fraudulent unemployment insurance claims of eleven victims were deposited into Fleurimond’s personal checking account; twelve additional fraudulent claims were deposited into other accounts associated with Fleurimond. Bank photographs reflect Fleurimond withdrew fraudulent funds from each of these accounts. The amount of loss resulting from Fleurimond’s offense was $142,905.

Okay, so how did Fleurimond obtain the victims’ identifying information to use in this scheme?  I wish they’d tell us these things.
