Florida Man Sentenced to 48 Months for Conspiracy to Commit Bank Fraud and Aggravated Identity Theft

JACKSON, MS – A Miami, Florida man was sentenced today to 48 months in prison for one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and two counts of aggravated identity theft. A sentence of 24 months was imposed as to the conspiracy to commit bank fraud charge. A sentence of 24 months was also imposed as to each of the two aggravated identity theft charges. The sentences for the aggravated identity theft charges were imposed to run concurrently to each other, but consecutively to the conspiracy to commit bank fraud charge for a total of 48 months. According to court documents, and statements made in open court, Guy Gerral Georges, 32, conspired with another person in a scheme that utilized fraudulent ATM cards to obtain thousands of dollars. Georges used a card programming device, in conjunction with information provided to him by his co-conspirator, to access the bank accounts of numerous individuals through various ATM machines. Thanks to the quick action of law enforcement officers, Georges was stopped and arrested in the midst of the scheme. The funds that Georges gained through fraud were seized during a search of the car he was using. Those funds were returned to the affected bank, and the bank refunded the amounts wrongfully taken from its customers. A federal grand jury returned an indictment against Georges on March 4, 2025. Georges pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and two counts of aggravated identity theft on October 14, 2025. U.S. Attorney Baxter Kruger of the Southern District of Mississippi; U.S. Secret Service Special Agent in Charge Patrick Glaze; and Lynn Fitch, Mississippi Attorney General, made the announcement. The United States Secret Service and the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office investigated the case through their partnership in the Cyber Fraud Task Force. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Herbert S. Carraway and Charles W. Kirkham prosecuted the case.
