US v. Zachkey-James

The charges in this case relate to a wire fraud scheme from in or about late 2020 to at least in or about November 2022. The defendant and co-conspirators obtained United States Postal Service (USPS) keys capable of opening blue USPS collection boxes. These keys are known as "arrow keys." The

defendant used stolen arrow keys to open blue USPS collection boxes, stole the mail inside, and then searched that mail for checks and money orders. Once the defendant obtained checks and money orders from the mailstream, he altered the payee name on those checks and money orders to be payable to himself and co-conspirators, and then either cashed those forged checks and money orders or deposited those forged checks and money orders into accounts controlled by himself and co-conspirators.
