Man of many aliases indicted on bank fraud charges
December 3, 2009
Total Loss:
$3 million
A "very sophisticated con man" now being held in San Diego in a $3 million fraud case was indicted here today on charges that he defrauded two Hawaii banks of $130,000 in 2007 and 2008. Deputy Prosecutor Christopher Van Marter said the defendant was known here as Tyler Adams and Kevin Kennedy but has used multiple other aliases and has even "used cosmetic surgery to alter his appearance." Adams, 37, formed five fictitious businesses here in 2007-2008 and used a "check-kiting scheme" to defraud American Savings Bank and Bank of Hawaii, Van Marter said.
