Two Philadelphia, Pa., men, one a health insurance company employee, were indicted in August for allegedly stealing about 86 individuals’ information to obtain more than $280,000 in counterfeit checks.

Kenneth C. Osbourne Jr., 35, and Sheldon Hylton, 22, were charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud and aggravated identity theft, bank fraud, aggravated identity theft, and aiding and abetting. Hylton also is charged with wire fraud and possession, with intent to use unlawfully, five or more false identification documents.

Osbourne allegedly used his position as a customer service representative at AmeriHealth Administrators to access customers’ personal identity information, which he then allegedly gave to Hylton, according to the FBI’s Philadelphia office.

Between October 2009 and January 2010, authorities said Hylton and other co-conspirators deposited about 48 counterfeit checks totaling about $289,846.82 into TD Bank accounts. They subsequently withdrew about $189,300 from these accounts, according to authorities.

Hylton also allegedly used the personal identity information of five victims to access online adult pornography websites. He also faces 15 charges of possession of counterfeit Pennsylvania driver’s licenses.

If convicted, Osbourne faces a maximum possible sentence of 57 years in prison, including a mandatory term of imprisonment of two years, a $4 million fine, a five-year term of supervised release and a $1,300 special assessment.

Hylton faces a maximum possible sentence of 82 years imprisonment, including a mandatory term of imprisonment of two years, a $4.5 million fine, a five-year term of supervised release and a $1,500 special assessment.
