SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A Storm Lake man has been sentenced to more than four years in federal prison Friday for making and using dozens of counterfeit credit cards. The Sioux City Journal reports that Yoirland Tome-Rojas was sentenced Friday in U.S. District Court in Sioux City. He was convicted in October of two counts of using a counterfeit access device; one count of possessing 15 or more counterfeit access devices; one count of money laundering; and two counts of aggravated identity theft.
Federal prosecutors say Rojas manufactured credit cards and used them to buy gift cards that he would later use to buy various items. At least two of the card numbers he used belonged to people who reported unauthorized use of their credit cards.
