HOUSTON – A 39-year-old Houston woman is set to appear in
federal court following the return of a four-count indictment alleging bank fraud,
announced U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Patrick.
Lori Nan Dean is set to make her initial appearance before
U.S. Magistrate Judge Christina Bryan at 10:00 a.m. today.
The indictment, returned April 30, 2019, alleges that while
employed at the International Bank of Commerce (IBC), she defrauded them of
$144,300. She allegedly made unauthorized withdrawals of money through the
submission of fraudulent debit general ledger tickets.
According to the indictment, Dean made false entries in the
books and records of IBC to conceal her fraud.
The alleged bank fraud scheme lasted from approximately Jan.
2, 2016 through Aug. 2, 2017.
Each count of bank fraud carries a maximum penalty of 30
years imprisonment and a fine up to $1 million.
The FBI conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney
John Braddock is prosecuting the case.
An indictment is a formal accusation of criminal conduct,
not evidence.
A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until convicted
through due process of law.
