After several months of pleading guilty to additional charges of credit card fraud arising from his previous charge of unauthorized possession of credit card numbers, and bail jumping, Daryl Simon, a credit card forger hiding in New York City, was sentenced to approximately 24 years in prison.
Simon ran a sophisticated credit-card forgery operation using more than 1,200 of stolen credit card numbers and personal information. After Simon’s apartment bust in May 2008, it was revealed that Simon possesses multiple high tech credit card skimming and encoding devices used to run his sham.
At his sentencing proceedings, Simon allegedly submitted forged letters of support from individuals and charitable organizations in order to convince the Federal Court to impose a lower sentence.
