A woman accused of being the check casher for an identity theft ring that targeted the wife of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is awaiting a court hearing in Miami. Shonya Michelle Young, of Myrtle Beach, S.C., is expected to appear in federal court Tuesday afternoon. She was arrested Monday and held at a federal detention center on a charge of conspiracy to commit bank fraud. According to the U.S. Marshals Service, Young was a "major check casher" for the ring. Marshals spokesman Barry Golden says Young used wigs to impersonate victims while cashing illegal checks.
