SALT LAKE CITY — A Nevada man faces federal charges after prosecutors say he stole over $7 million in treasury checks, according to newly unsealed court documents.
A couple walked into the America First Credit Union on 500 South, near downtown Salt Lake City, on April 13, 2023, pretending to be two Californians opening a bank account, according to the indictment. They showed bank employees fake driver's licenses and Social Security cards, and deposited a stolen tax refund check worth over $820,000, court documents say.
Kyle Eugene Duncan-Carle, 40, of Las Vegas, was charged with bank fraud, aggravated identity theft and receipt of stolen government property on April 9. The woman remains unidentified, according to the charging documents.
From January to September 2023, Duncan-Carle was found to have deposited four other stolen checks in Nevada and Seattle bank accounts and was in possession of another stolen check, investigators say. The six checks total over $7 million. Duncan-Carle attempted to withdraw money from a Boise branch of the America First Credit Union but was unsuccessful, the indictment says.
He was arrested on Saturday in the Dayton area of Lyon County, Nevada, on unrelated charges. A Lyon County Jail employee said he was pulled over for investigation of driving under the influence and child abuse. The district attorney did not file charges for the suspected child abuse, the employee said, but Duncan-Carle is scheduled in court for the DUI misdemeanor charge May 15.
According to a press release, he will have an initial appearance for the fraud case at an unspecified district courthouse in Nevada.
