A Palm Coast man has been indicted on several wire fraud charges and could face up to 20 years in federal prison for each charge if convicted.
Noah Michael Urban, 19, has been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, eight counts of wire fraud, and five counts of aggravated identity theft, according to a press release from the Middle District of Florida U.S. Attorney's Office. According to the indictment, Urban allegedly stole at least $800,000 from at least five different victims between the months of August 2022 and March 2023.
If convicted, Urban faces up to 20 years in federal prison for each wire fraud charge, which is a federal crime, the press release said. Additionally, the aggravated identity theft charges each have a mandatory minimum sentencing of two years that will run consecutive to any other prison sentence.
Urban is known under several aliases, including "Sosa," "Elijah," "King Bob," and "Anthony Ramirez," the press release said.
The case was jointly investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Justice Department’s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section, the United States Attorney’s Office District of Oregon, and the United States Attorney’s Office Middle District of Florida, the press release said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney John Cannizzaro is prosecuting the case.
