Three U.S. Postal Service workers stole credit cards from the mail while on the job & bought more than $1.3 million in designer duds & accessories to sell online, Manhattan federal prosecutors said.
Chanel, Fendi, Hermes & Dior were the brands of choice.
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said the workers’ “brazen criminal conduct” began in December 2018.
The scam saw them “manipulate credit card companies & major retailers across New York & New Jersey by stealing credit cards and using those cards to purchase & subsequently sell, luxury goods,” Williams said.
Postal workers Nathanael Foucault, Johnathan Persaud & Fabiola Mompoint allegedly swiped the cards & handed them off to 5 associates or “shoppers” who bought the luxury clothes & bags at department stores in Manhattan, Brooklyn & New Jersey.
Foucault, Mompoint & Persaud are facing charges of access device fraud, bank fraud & other related crimes.
The accused “shoppers,” Rahsaan Richards, Devon Richards, Conrad Heron, Louis Jeune Verly & Kareem Shepherd, are still at large, federal officials said. As was Johnny Damus, who directed them to buy what he resold on LuxurySnob.com, which describes itself as an online store specializing in “pre-owned luxury items.”
