Man Pleads Guilty to Bank Fraud
A Florida man has pleaded guilty in federal court to conspiracy to commit bank fraud at ATMs across the country, including at the Seneca Allegany Casino and the Salamanca Bingo Hall.
52-year-old Siu Cheung and 8 co-defendants fraudulently obtained the credit and debit information of hundreds of bank customers and used those account numbers to produce counterfeit credit and debit cards. They then used those cards at ATMs across the country to withdraw cash, eventually stealing $510,500, according to a news release.
On Dec. 12, 2009, Cheung and several others were charged after search warrants were executed in three hotel rooms and a van they rented in Salamanca.
Cheung is the final person to plead guilty in the case. Sentencing will be at 9 a.m. July 20 in Buffalo.
