Federal authorities have accused a man of stealing checks in a $445,000 scheme involving fictitious bank accounts.
Denny Edward Ray is charged with bank fraud and money laundering in an indictment presented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel Schiess.
The indictment charges Ray used a phony North Dakota driver's license in the name of Balwinder Basra and a fictitious Pennsylvania driver's license in the name of Patrick R. Carlson to rent mailboxes in December 1997 and January 1998.
Seven bank accounts also were then opened with the documents, indicating they were for businesses named Digitex Technology or Design Construction.
The indictment charges that between December 1997 and March 1998, Ray was responsible for eight checks being embezzled or stolen from Parsons Infrastructure and Technology Group in California and mailed to Nevada.
