Suspect Convicted Three Years After Russian Fraud Scheme Compromised San Juan Unified Records

Posted on February 17, 2017 by Dissent

Sonseeahray Tonsall reports:

Three years ago, FOX40 first reported that as many as 200 academic records were stolen from the San Juan Unified School district and discovered in an FBI raid of homes in Sacramento and Studio City.

Information like student social security numbers was used to make $1 million worth of fraudulent charges on stolen American Express accounts with the help of phony online businesses.

Now 37-year-old Mihran Melkonyan has been convicted on 26 counts of wire and mail fraud.
