Reality star Kim Kardashian can finally breathe a sigh of relief! Luis Flores Jr, who tried to illegally transfer money from Kim’s bank account, has been sentence to serve time in federal prison, reports E! Online.
The 19-year-old convict gained access to Kim’s finances and personal data, including her social security and credit card numbers. He ordered replacement credit cards and requested for them to be sent to his address in Florida, leading Secret Service agents directly to him.
Flores’ mother, Kyah Green, was also involved in the identity theft scheme. She was sentenced to three years probation on top of her jail sentence for lying to authorities in order to cover for her son’s fraud.
The mother-son duo was able to access and withdraw money from the bank accounts of some of the richest and most famous in the country, including Bill Gates, Paris Hilton and Beyoncé. United States Vice President Joe Biden and First Lady Michelle Obama were also named as victims in the court documents.
Both pleaded guilty in October to credit card fraud and aggravated identity theft.
We’re pleased to know that justice has been served, Kimmie!
