Trio Charged In Check Theft Scheme From Brooklyn to Chinatown Now A Guilty Plea

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 16 – In a Brooklyn check-stealing scheme, Joanna Dejesus, George Wilcox and Thomas Burton were charged in February, 2020.    

  On November 2, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Paul G. Gardephe held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it. 

  The Complaint described a $110,000 check from a Brooklyn Business to a Landscaping Business.

 Then a company with a name nearly identical to the Landscaping Business was incorporated.

The check was by a person with a "Joanna DeJesus" driver's license in a bank in Chinatown.

 On April 16, Joanna DeJesus appeared again before Judge Gardephe, with Inner City Press again covering it, and pleaded guilty to Count 1 of a third Superseding Indictment. Sentencing was scheduled for August 26.

The case is US v. Dejesus et al, 20-cr-397 (Gardephe)
