Get this: a guy from Atlanta just got nearly 6 years in federal prison for masterminding a huge check fraud scheme in Illinois. He and his crew stole business checks from the mail, forged them, and then recruited people—often from homeless shelters—to cash them. The scam hit over a dozen towns and cost banks almost $47K! The ringleader has to serve 20 years in Iowa first. Talk about crime not paying off! #Safety #TrueCrime #Illinois
