Overview
- U.S. District Judge John F. Walter sentenced Mary Ann Magdamit, 31, to 63 months in prison and ordered $660,200 in restitution after her August 11 guilty plea to conspiracy to commit bank fraud.
- From at least 2022 to July 2025, she stole checks, personal information, and bank cards from the mail, activated cards for purchases, sold some to co-conspirators, and had accomplices cash checks using counterfeit IDs.
- A December 2024 search of her Carson apartment uncovered 133 stolen credit and debit cards, 16 U.S. Treasury checks, and a loaded un-serialized Glock-clone with a 27-round magazine.
- Agents arrested her on July 1 after detecting continued use of victims’ cards, conducted a second search that found more stolen cards, and she has remained in federal custody since that date.
- Investigators said she used stolen cards on trips to Turks and Caicos and Aruba, flaunted luxury purchases on Instagram, and agreed to forfeit a Rolex watch along with other goods; USPS OIG, the Postal Inspection Service, and TIGTA led the probe.
