Dayquan Jackson, also known as “Quan” and “DaeDae,” was also sentenced last week by U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton in New Haven to three years of supervised release for operating a mail fraud and bank fraud scheme, said Deirdre M. Daly, U.S. attorney for Connecticut.
Jackson was also ordered to pay restitution of $84,242.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Jackson and others stole mail from residences in Fairfield County throughout 2013 and 2014 to obtain blank checks and credit card “convenience checks.”
He and the others then used some of the stolen checks to purchase cars, motorcycles and ATVs listed for sale on the Internet from victims in surrounding states.
Some of the stolen checks also were provided to “runners,” who deposited the checks into their bank accounts. Jackson and others then withdrew the funds from the accounts.
The court calculated the intended loss to financial institutions and individual victims resulting from this scheme as more than $177,000.
He was arrested Aug. 22 and pleaded guilty on Oct. 29 to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and bank fraud.
This matter was investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, with assistance from the Connecticut Financial Fraud Task Force and the Greenwich, Fairfield, Wilton and Bridgeport police departments, as well as law enforcement in New Hampshire. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Marc Silverman.
