Thirty-seven-year-old Mohsen Akbari was indicted August 16th on one count of wire fraud and one count of interstate transportation of stolen property.Authorities allege Akbari entered the U.S. on March 1 from South Korea on a visitor visa and later visited several retail stores to steal cash through sleight-of-hand techniques between late March and July of this year.
Authorities allege the suspect would make a small purchase and then claim that he and his family collect U.S. currency, typically $100 bills. Akbari is accused of then asking the cashier to show him the bills so he could examine them, before secretly slipping some of them into his sleeve or pocket. The indictment alleges Akbari would deposit the money in a U.S. bank account and then wire funds to bank accounts in Canada.
