(FOX40.COM) — Two Las Vegas residents and one Sacramento man pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit access device fraud Friday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced in a press release.
Between July 2020 and January 2021, Ricky Lee Ware, 43, and Kimberly Ann Wallace, 30, conspired to obtain debit cards that gave them access to strangers’ unemployment benefits. The debit cards were then used to withdraw more than $900,000 in unemployment benefits from ATMs.
Ware and Wallace are set for sentencing on Feb.19, 2027, and face a maximum of 7.5 years in prison. The actual sentence will be determined at the discretion of the court.
The man from Sacramento, Carlos Lee Sanchez Jr., 46, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit access device fraud in June. Sanchez is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 13.
