A Birmingham man has been convicted for his role in supplying stolen checks to a scam Telegram channel that netted him more than $100,000 in bribe payments.
Michael Christopher Rowser, a 24-year-old former U.S. Postal Service employee, was convicted of conspiracy to receive bribes and conspiracy to commit wire fraud, according to a Monday announcement by Northern District of Alabama U.S. Attorney Prim F. Escalona, FBI Special Agent in Charge Carlton L. Peeples, U.S. Postal Inspection Service Inspector-in-Charge Mona Hernandez, Houston Division, and U.S. Secret Service Special Agent in Charge Patrick Davis.
When customers of “The Lucky Shop” paid the channel’s administrators to purchase stolen checks, a portion of their profits would be kicked back to Rowser. The evidence showed Rowser, a mail handler at the U.S. Postal Service’s Processing & Distribution Center in Birmingham, received approximately $106,000 in bribe payments over the course of a year for his role supplying checks to “The Lucky Shop.”The FBI, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General, and the U.S. Secret Service investigated the case, which is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Edward J. Canter and Daniel S. McBrayer.
