BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - We've learned of a criminal case that involves conspiracy, bribery, money laundering, and identity theft. However, that's just a few of the charges.
In total, eleven people are charged with obtaining and using financial information of more than 55 people and businesses throughout Louisiana. The alleged ring leader, Robert Thompson, also known as John Lawson, allegedly managed to do all of this from prison and he has a long list of charges.
U.S. Attorney David Dugas says Thompson bribed a prison guard to get his hands on cell phones. He would rally folks to help him on the outside. Aside from a J.B Evans correctional officer, ten others were arrested for allegedly helping him. In one case, the group reportedly tried to steal $20 million from one victim's bank accounts.
