Dumb Criminals: Convicted Identity Theif Ate Debit Card To Hide Evidence
Last edited Tue Oct 29, 2013, 06:58 PM - Edit history (1)
An identity thief from Dallas has been convicted of collecting millions of dollars in fraudulent income tax refunds.
Ogiesoba City Osula, 37, was arrested in 2011 after police in a Cincinnati suburb caught him with $300,000 in cash and money orders, as well as numerous debit cards, one of which he ate to conceal evidence, according to the U.S. attorney’s office.
Osula was convicted of 16 counts Friday after a nearly weeklong trial and will be sentenced at a later date.
Four accomplices have pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges in the fraud scheme and will also be sentenced later: George Ojonugwa, 32, of Garland; Eseos Igiebor, 43, of Richardson; Ebenezer Legbedion, 42, of Lagos, Nigeria, and Evelyn Nyaboke Haley, 34, of Dallas.
