Mans pleads to stealing $295K
April 10, 2009
Total Loss:
$295,000
The money came easy to Gregory Lynch. He opened fake business accounts in Webster Bank, filled them with counterfeit checks and reaped the gains. When that scam ended he preyed on a Florida woman and her mother, bilking them of $95,000. And the money left over went just as easy -- mostly at a Connecticut casino.
A preliminary calculation of his federal sentencing guidelines recommend Lynch receive a term ranging from three years, one month, to three years, 10 months in prison, a fine of up to $75,000 and $376,000 in restitution. Senior U.S. District Judge Peter C. Dorsey set sentencing for June 19.
