OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A California man has been ordered to serve 51 months in prison for using stolen credit card numbers in Nebraska and Washington.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Omaha says 45-year-old Siddiq Talib, who also goes by Von Wilson, of Van Nuys, Calif., was sentenced Friday in federal court for credit card and bank fraud. He was also ordered to pay more than $180,000 in restitution.
The office says Talib flew to Omaha in July 2009 to use the numbers stolen from customers of Wells Fargo Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland Citizen Bank. He made purchases at various locations in Omaha and Lincoln.
Authorities say Talib made similar purchases in the Seattle area. The sentence also covers those crimes.
