CONCORD – Kizito Chukwujekwu, 38, of Morrow, Georgia, was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison for participating in a conspiracy to commit bank fraud, Acting United States Attorney John J. Farley announced today.

According to court documents and statements made in court, between June of 2016 and August of 2017, Chukwujekwu and others opened at least ten bank accounts at banks in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Georgia using other persons’ identification information.  Chukwujekwu or his co-conspirators then deposited fraudulent checks into those accounts.  After the money was credited to the account but before the bank determined the check was false, one of Chukwujekwu’s co-conspirators withdrew money from the bank accounts.  During the scheme, the conspirators deposited fraudulent checks worth more than $119,000 and withdrew more than $69,000.
