Bank Technology News  |  October, 2009

An employee of a contractor allegedly stole more than 150 IDs of BNY Mellon employees, then used their identities to steal more than $1.1 million from charities and other non-profits.


Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau last week said Adenivi Adeyemi was charged with grand larceny, identity theft, money laundering and other charges.


The 27-year old Brooklynite, a computer technician who was employed by a contractor that was doing work for the bank, faces up to 25 years in prison on the grand larceny and money laundering counts.


He allegedly stole personal identifying information of dozens of bank employees, mainly those who worked in the IT department.
