Man gets 27 years in prison for $3.4M fraud scheme involving San Juan Unified students |
|
A Beverly Hills man involved in a credit card scheme that targeted San Juan Unified School District students will likely spend the next 27 years in prison.
Ruslan Kirilyuk, 41, was sentenced to that term in prison by U.S. District Judge Garland E. Burrell Jr., according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of California. Kirilyuk was tried and convicted on 24 counts of wire fraud after working with several others from October 2011 to March 2014. Prosecutors say he conspired with others to create over 70 fake companies and create charges from those companies on stolen American Express credit card accounts, the release said.

The Stanford History Education Group found that the lack of a fact-checker mindset is a big part of why so many students — and adults — so often are duped by political and social issues websites.
