N.J. Man Admits to Web Credit Theft
Filed at 8:27 a.m. EDT
By The Associated Press
WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) -- A New Jersey man has
admitted to a scheme
in which he used personal information gleaned
from the Internet to
create hundreds of fake credit card accounts in
the names of the
nation's highest-ranking military officers.
Lamar Christian, 32, of Trenton, N.J., pleaded
guilty in U.S. District
Court on Tuesday to one count of conspiracy to
commit bank fraud.
Federal prosecutors say Christian created 331
fake credit accounts
and used them to buy $161,000 worth of computers
and jewelry
online.
The cards were set up in the names of many of
the nation's
highest-ranking officers, including former Army
Gen. John
Shalikashvili, who was President Clinton's top
military adviser until
he retired in 1997.
Christian told U.S. District Judge Sue L.
Robinson that he got the
names and Social Security numbers from a Web
site run by Glen
Roberts, a Pennsylvania privacy advocate.
Roberts said he got the information from the
Congressional Record,
which published the Social Security numbers and
names of
high-ranking officers when they were promoted.
He said he publishes
the Social Security numbers on his Web site to
prove how easy it is to
get such private information from public sources.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Beth Moskow-Schnoll told
Robinson the
Congressional Record no longer publishes the
Social Security numbers
of newly promoted officers. But the
Congressional Record accounts of
previous promotions still are available online
with names and Social
Security numbers, Roberts said.
Another man, Nevison Stevens, 29, of Trenton,
pleaded guilty in the
case earlier this year. Both men face up to four
years in prison when
they are sentenced. Christian is to be sentenced
Aug. 3, Stevens on
June 22.
