A teenager has been accused of cashing over $545,000 in fake checks, and may have used some of those fraudulent funds to pay for his defense. Police in Columbus, Georgia say that William Chadwick Jones opened a business account with Synovus Bank, deposited five fake checks via mobile deposit, and then moved these funds through wire transfers and platforms like Zelle. Some of this money may have been used to pay a lawyer who was helping the teenager with a previous fraud case. Jones was driving a Porsche when he was apprehended by police. (Yahoo)
