Four people with ties to Connecticut, Florida, Missouri and Iowa have been charged in an eight-count federal indictment after prosecutors said checks intended to pay a multinational corporation’s legitimate vendors were stolen, altered and deposited into accounts controlled by people involved in the scheme.
Cory L. Sims Jr. of Bridgeport, Connecticut; Dondre O. Daniels of Bridgeport and Tampa, Florida; Christian M. Hill of Kansas City, Missouri; and Makhia L. Duncan of Des Moines, Iowa, were charged in federal court in Kansas City, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Missouri.
The indictment was initially returned under seal and became public after Hill made an initial court appearance. The U.S. Attorney’s Office announced the case Oct. 5.
