The Department of Justice just announced that Jhonnatan Steven Rodriguez, an ex-employee of a major U.S. commercial bank, admitted to taking bribes to launch more than 100 unlawful accounts.
Courtesy of the United States Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey, Rodriguez, 32, from Naples, Florida, faces two charges: accepting bribes from a bank employee and submitting false bank entries. Each offense carries a maximum sentence of 30 years and up to $1 million in fines.
Last year, Rodriguez dishonestly opened accounts as part of a bribery scheme while he worked at TD Bank. He would forge customers' signatures on paperwork and used the pseudonym "Jorge" to communicate with the individuals soliciting the bank accounts underhandedly. Rodriguez confessed to having opened approximately 140 unauthorized accounts[1].
For instance, one person paid Rodriguez 25 installments totaling $6,335 to create numerous TD Bank accounts. Moreover, on December 17, 2022, another individual transferred $1,050 to Rodriguez to establish multiple TD Bank accounts.
Rodriguez's sentencing hearing is scheduled for November 25, 2025.
