'To our knowledge, this is the largest criminal case ever involving identify theft of military-affiliated personnel,' U.S. Attorney John Bash said at a press conference.
The charges were set forth in a sealed, 14-count indictment filed in June that implicated Crawford and several other members of the conspiracy including its alleged ringleader, Robert Wayne Boling Jr., an American citizen raised as a military dependent and now living in the Philippines, where he is currently in police custody.
Brown communicated the stolen information to Boling Jr., who would use it, working with other co-conspirators, to compromise the financial accounts of their victims, the indictment alleges. “To our knowledge, this is the largest criminal case ever involving identify theft of military-affiliated personnel,” U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas John Bash said at a press conference in August.Boling Jr.
The indictment noted that the defendants targeted older military-affiliated personnel, who were"less likely to use" the systems that they were compromising, and disabled veterans, who were"more likely to receive larger veterans benefits."
