An Orland Park man has been sentenced to nearly three years in prison for his role in a fraud scheme that stretched across the U.S., targeting businesses and individuals using stolen credit card information.
Antonio M. Strong, 32, who previously pleaded guilty to wire fraud charges in May, was handed a sentence of 34 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release.From March 2016 through September 2020, Strong, along with several co-conspirators, used stolen credit card data to fund a lavish lifestyle. Prosecutors said they booked everything from private jets and yachts to luxury hotels, cars and even designer puppies.
The stolen card information included not just card numbers, but also cardholders’ names, addresses, security codes and expiration dates. This data allowed businesses to process transactions without immediate suspicion, providing the goods and services that Strong and his accomplices sought. Cardholders then noticed the fraudulent charges and disputed them, leading credit card companies to reverse the charges.
