Richard 'Ricky' Pinedo: 5 Fast Facts You Need To Know
Richard Ricky Pinedo has pleaded guilty to identify fraud.
Richard 'Ricky' Pinedo, an American from Southern California pleaded guilty to buying banking account information and numbers from persons outside the US and then selling those numbers to other non-US parties as part of a fraud scheme, according to documents released by Special Counsel Robert S.
Mueller's office Friday.
The 'statement of offense' says that from 2014 through December 2017, Pinedo operated an online service called Auction Essistance that offered a variety of services designed to circumvent the security features of large online digital payment companies, including a large digital payments company the court records call "Company I." Pinedo sold stolen bank account numbers over the internet.
Pinedo did this by getting bank account numbers "either by registering accounts in his own name or by purchasing accounts" in the names of other people through the internet, many of which were purchased using stolen identities of American citizens.
The charging documents say that though Pinedo "was not directly involved in the registration of these accounts using stolen identities, he willfully and intentionally avoided learning about the use of stolen identities." After getting the stolen account numbers from him, users linked the bank account numbers to their accounts as if they were the real owners.
The documents say Pinedo "frequently purchased bank account numbers from an individual he knew to be outside the US." The gist: Pinedo "knowingly transferred, possessed, and used" hundreds of stolen or bogus bank account numbers to "defeat security measures…," according to documents provided by the office of the Special Counsel.
And he perpetrated this wire fraud from 2014 through December 2017, according to Mueller.
Special counsel Robert Mueller arrives at the Capitol in June 2017.
Pinedo pleaded guilty to identity fraud and now faces a maximum sentence of 15 years' imprisonment; a fine of $250,000; a term of supervised release of not more than 3 years, and an obligation to pay fines and restitution and agreed to pay a special assessment of $100 per felony conviction.
This announcement coincided with the indictment of 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities by Special Mueller as part of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 US election on charges they used made-up social media postings and ads bought using American identities to swing voters and influence public political opinion during the face-off between then-candidate Republican Donald Trump and his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.
