Couple charged with fraud
RICHMOND,
Va. A couple from Bedford County is charged with federal counts of
fraud and money laundering related to Internet computer supply sales.
Federal
prosecutors say 40-year-old James Cox and 36-year-old Stephanie Cox of
Forest were involved in a wire fraud scheme that began when James Cox
was employed at Sonoco Products Company’s packaging facility in Chester.
Cox
is accused of stealing Hewlett Packard ink cartridges and selling them
to Triangles, an online retailer of computer equipment based in North
Carolina.
Prosecutors say Triangles wired Cox payments of nearly
700-thousand dollars for the stolen cartridges from December 2001 to
March 2004.
Governor prosecutors say James and Stephanie Cox
laundered the money by purchasing vehicles, expensive vacations and an
educational savings plan.
