A woman from Pottawattamie County plead guilty Wednesday, with regard to a case of Identity Fraud. The U-S Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa said Thursday, that Gina K. Malloy, of Council Bluffs, pleaded guilty to the unlawful use of an identification document. Malloy will be sentenced January 24th, 2018, at 10:30 a.m. at the Council Bluffs Federal Courthouse.

According to the plea agreement, in 2014, Malloy applied for a $30,000 loan from Windset Capital Corporation. The loan application was made in the name of Habitat for Humanity of Council Bluffs, where Malloy was the Executive Director. The promissory note required a second signature from a Habitat for Humanity member.

Malloy signed the name of an unknowing victim, used the victim’s name, social security number, and attached the victim’s driver’s license’s copy to the promissory note. The application was then sent to Windset Capital Corporation via an electronic transfer service.

Malloy also admitted she applied for a U.S. Bank business Visa credit card for Habitat for Humanity on or about January 13, 2015. The application was sent to the U.S. Bank by Malloy, and contained the same victim’s personal data. Malloy has agreed to pay at least $13,490 to Habitat for Humanity of Council Bluffs and $12,100 to U.S. Bank in restitution.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted the investigation. The case is being prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
