The employee, Nakedra Shannon, colluded with two others to sell the \u200dstolen\u200c checks, according to prosecutors.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Shannon, a resident of Charlotte, North\u200d Carolina, worked for the postal\u200b service from March 2021 to July\u2063 2023. It is alleged that she began stealing checks towards the end of \u200bher employment. The charges of conspiracy to\u200d commit financial institution fraud\u2063 and theft of government property have \u2062been filed against Shannon and her\u2064 accomplices,\u200c Donnell Gardner and Desiray \u200cCarter, both residents of Charlotte.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the initial charges, Carter and Gardner face counts of possession \u2063of stolen mail, while Shannon faces additional counts of theft of mail by a postal\u200d employee.<\/p>\n<p>The trio operated their scheme at a Charlotte \u2063postal processing and distribution center, stealing incoming and outgoing checks. The thefts occurred between April\u200c and July 2023. The \u2064stolen checks, totaling over $12 million, were allegedly sold on a Telegram channel \u200bcalled\u2064 OG Glass House.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Shannon, Gardner,\u2063 and Carter are accused of stealing over $8 million worth \u200dof U.S. Treasury\u2062 checks. The Telegram channel, run by Carter under the username\u2062 &#8220;SW1PER,&#8221; served \u200cas a platform for \u2063advertising the stolen checks. Gardner facilitated the transactions by sending the stolen checks to buyers.<\/p>\n<p>The indictment states that the trio made &#8220;hundreds of thousands of dollars in criminal proceeds&#8221; from their illegal activities.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation into the conspiracy was conducted by multiple\u2064 agencies, including\u2064 the U.S. Postal Service Office of\u200c the Inspector General,\u2063 the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the IRS Criminal Investigation Division, the U.S. Department of Treasury Bureau of the Fiscal Service, and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.<\/p>\n<p>Shannon, Gardner, and Carter have been released on bond after their initial court appearances.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/michigan-attorney-general-says-fake-electors-were-brainwashed-to-keep-trump-in-power-report\/\" title=\"Michigan AG: Fake electors were 'brainwashed' to support Trump, per report.\">charges carry severe penalties<\/a>, with a maximum sentence of 30 years&#8217; imprisonment\u2064 for conspiracy to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/he-fraudulently-claimed-coronavirus-relief-funds-then-faked-his-suicide-to-avoid-prosecution-now-hes-agreed-to-plead-guilty\/\" title=\"He Fraudulently Claimed Coronavirus Relief Funds, Then Faked His Suicide To Avoid Prosecution.

Nakedra Shannon, along with \u200dher accomplices Donnell Gardner\u2062 and Desiray Carter, allegedly colluded to sell the stolen checks,\u200c leading to charges of conspiracy \u200cto commit financial institution fraud and theft of government\u200b property.<\/p>\n<p>Shannon, a \u200dresident of Charlotte, North Carolina, had been employed by \u200bthe postal service from March 2021\u2062 to \u200cJuly 2023. It is believed that \u200bshe started stealing checks towards the end of her employment. In addition to the initial charges, Carter and Gardner also face counts of possession of stolen mail, while Shannon faces additional counts of theft of \u200dmail by a postal employee.<\/p>\n<p>The trio orchestrated their scheme at a Charlotte postal processing and \u2064distribution center, targeting incoming and \u200doutgoing checks. \u200cThe thefts\u2064 took place between April and July 2023, with the stolen\u200d checks amounting to over $12 million. These checks were reportedly sold on a Telegram channel named OG Glass House.<\/p>\n<p>The indictment reveals that Shannon, Gardner, and \u200dCarter are also accused of stealing over $8 million worth\u200b of U.S. Treasury checks. Carter allegedly ran\u200d the Telegram channel under\u2063 the username &#8220;SW1PER,&#8221; using it to advertise the stolen checks. Gardner played a facilitator role, sending the \u2063stolen checks \u200dto buyers.<\/p>\n<p>According to the indictment, the trio made &#8220;hundreds of thousands of dollars in criminal proceeds&#8221; from their illicit activities. The \u200binvestigation into the conspiracy involved multiple agencies, including the U.S. Postal Service Office of the Inspector\u200d General, the U.S. \u2063Postal Inspection Service, the\u2063 IRS Criminal\u2063 Investigation Division, the U.S. Department of Treasury \u200bBureau\u2062 of the Fiscal Service, and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg \u200bPolice \u200dDepartment.<\/p>\n<p>Shannon, \u2064Gardner, and Carter have been released on bond after their initial court appearances. However, \u200dthe charges they face come\u200b with severe penalties. If convicted, they could face up to \u206430 years&#8217; imprisonment\u2063 for conspiracy to commit bank fraud, five years&#8217; imprisonment for theft by postal employees and possession of stolen mail, and ten years&#8217; imprisonment for theft of government property.<\/p>\n<p>Cases like this are a reminder of the importance of \u200dtrust and integrity in our postal system. \u2063The United States Postal Service plays a crucial role in\u200c delivering items of value, such as checks, across\u2062 the country. Incidents of internal theft not only compromise the trust of the public but also\u200d reflect \u200cpoorly on the employees\u2062 who work\u2064 diligently to provide reliable service.<\/p>\n<p>It is commendable that\u2064 law enforcement agencies worked collaboratively to uncover this \u2063theft\u200b scheme. The comprehensive investigation carried out by the U.S. Postal Service Office of the Inspector\u200d General, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the IRS \u200bCriminal\u2062 Investigation Division, the U.S. Department \u2063of\u2062 Treasury Bureau of\u200b the Fiscal \u2062Service, and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department demonstrates their commitment to upholding the law and maintaining the integrity of the postal service.<\/p>\n<p>As this case moves forward, it is essential that justice is served. The stolen funds must be \u2064recovered, and appropriate measures must be put in place to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. The \u2064United States Postal Service must\u200d reevaluate its internal security protocols to ensure the trust and confidence \u200bof the \u2062American people are upheld.<\/p>\n<p>In \u200bconclusion, the alleged \u200btheft of \u2062$24\u200d million\u200d in checks by \u200ba United\u2062 States\u200d Postal Service employee is a \u200bshocking occurrence that demands justice \u2063and accountability. It serves as a reminder of \u2062the importance of integrity\u200b and the need for continuous efforts to \u200dprotect the trust of the public in the postal system. By addressing such incidents promptly and thoroughly, we can \u2064work\u2062 towards maintaining a reliable and trustworthy postal service for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An employee with the United States Postal Service was accused of stealing checks worth at least $24 million from the postal service and colluding with two others to sell the stolen checks, according to prosecutors.
