Floridian Gets Prison in Counterfeiting Scam
BuffaloNews.com reports a Coral Springs, Fla., man was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison Friday for his role in a credit card counterfeiting ring that cheated victims out of more than $510,000. Zheng Qiang Liang, 46, was sentenced by U. S. District Judge William M. Skretny. He pleaded guilty last year to a felony bank fraud charge. Liang and others fraudulently used the bank account information of hundreds of people to create fake credit and debit cards. The counterfeit cards were used to withdraw money at bank machines at casinos, including Seneca Niagara and Seneca Allegany, Assistant U. S. Attorney Aaron J. Mango said.
