Description: Raleigh, North Carolina bank fraud criminal defense lawyer represented defendant, Derrick Devon King, who was charged with conspiring to commit bank fraud and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.

According to court documents, from May 2015 through June 2017, King and others used synthetic identities to obtain credit cards and finance automobile purchases. King and others created new credit profiles by combining their names and dates of birth with nine-digit numbers resembling social security numbers, but which had not been issued to them by the Social Security Administration. In addition to using these new credit profiles, King and others misrepresented employment information in credit applications to make it appear they had the ability to repay loans. King and his co-conspirators, however, had no intention to pay.

On June 14, 2017, King was also found to be in possession of a firearm and a trafficking amount of marijuana. He also pled guilty to that offense.

Robert J. Higdon, Jr., U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina made the announcement after sentencing by U.S. District Judge James C. Dever III.
