A repeat bank fraudster who sent imposters into bank branches to drain victims’ accounts and cash stolen US Treasury checks has been sentenced to more than 16 years in federal prison. Laquan Williams, 42, of Florham Park, New Jersey, was sentenced to 200 months in prison for conspiracy to commit bank fraud and aggravated identity theft, says the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. Prosecutors say Williams ran a series of schemes between 2021 and 2024 that caused about $1.8 million in losses to financial institutions.
