IT Analysts Doing a Little Too Much Analyzing
April 27, 2009 – 1:15 pmI don’t know what got me onto this kick of reporting stories about identity thieves that you should be able to trust with your information. Maybe it’s because there have been so many in the last month. Here is yet another story about someone getting their identity stolen by someone that should be upheld to protect it.
This one comes out of New York where two federal IT workers Stole the identities of employees of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and used them to take out student loans and buy a new boat.
The two IT workers are now no longer working as IT analysts for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Curtis Wiltshire, 34, and Kenneth Wiltshire, 40, are indeed brothers and used their jobs to obtain private information from the bank’s workers. Curtis used one ID to open a $73,000 student loan, while Kenneth stole two identities to obtain a loan to buy a 2006 Sea Ray 340 Sundancer speedboat.
Wiltshire was charged with bank fraud and identity theft and if he is convicted will offenses will face up 30 years in prison. His brother was charged with mail fraud and identity theft and will face a maximum sentence of 22 years in prison if convicted on all accounts.

As a current IT analyst I can’t believe someone would do that. Interesting article. 22 years in prison seems like he got what he deserved.
