On August 25, eight individuals across California, Florida, and Arizona have been indicted on federal racketeering conspiracy charges which stem from a criminal enterprise that targeted elderly Americans.Two individuals—Tracy Adrine Knowles, 29, and Adonis Alexis Butler Wong, 29—who lived in Florida during the alleged crimes have also been charged.
The eight individuals allegedly defrauded over 70 elderly American citizens across the U.S.—with 10 incidents occurring in San Diego alone—by making them believe that a grandchild or close relative was in legal trouble and needed help with bail money, medical expenses resulting from car accidents or money to prevent further legal consequences from proceeding.
Deputy Assistant Attorney General Arun Rao for the Justice Department's Civil Division said that the eight individuals allegedly used deceptive measures to gain the elderly victims' trust.
