Two West Palm Beach men have been sentenced to federal prison for their roles in a multi-million-dollar check fraud scheme that exploited stolen business checks and fake corporations across Florida and Georgia.
On June 13, Jeremiah Wolliston, 23, was sentenced to 168 months (14 years) in prison, while Keith Patrick, 38, received a 72-month (6-year) sentence. Both had pleaded guilty to federal charges stemming from a conspiracy to commit bank fraud.
According to court documents, from December 2022 to May 2024, Wolliston and Patrick conspired with others to purchase stolen business checks from the mail. The checks were then altered and deposited into bank accounts opened under the names of fictitious corporations. These sham companies, established using the names of legitimate businesses, were created in Florida and Georgia.
