窃取数千名军人身份信息的主犯认罪：Robert Wayne Boling Jr. 在菲律宾落网后被遣返受审
美国司法部10月20日宣布，长期居住在菲律宾的美国公民 Robert Wayne Boling, Jr. 已就针对数千名美国现役军人与退伍军人的身份盗窃与诈骗案认罪。他承认一项共谋电信诈骗罪与一项共谋洗钱罪，定于2027年1月14日量刑，每项罪名最高可判20年监禁，最终刑期由联邦地区法院法官依据量刑指南等因素裁定。
根据司法部公布的案情，Boling 的同谋 Fredrick Brown 曾在驻韩美军担任文职病历管理员，他用数码设备拍下数千名军人相关人员的个人身份信息（PII），并把窃得的信息交给 Boling。Boling 与同伙利用这些信息侵入军人与退伍军人的银行账户及政府福利账户，并通过在美国招募的「钱骡」网络接收赃款、再把部分资金汇往菲律宾。Boling 已于2026年5月被菲律宾遣返回美国受审。
Boling 是本案第三名认罪的被告。同谋 Fredrick Brown 与 Trorice Crawford 此前已认罪，分别被判处151个月与46个月监禁；另两名同谋 Jongmin Seok 与 Allan Albert Kerr 仍在逃。国防部监察长办公室国防刑事调查局（DCIS）局长 James R. Ives 表示，诈骗那些保卫国家的男女军人令人不齿，DCIS 与合作伙伴将不懈追查窃取军人钱财者。
Philippines-Based Fraudster Robert Wayne Boling Jr. Pleads Guilty to Targeting Thousands of U.S. Servicemembers and Veterans
The U.S. Department of Justice announced on October 20 that Robert Wayne Boling, Jr., an American citizen based in the Philippines, has pleaded guilty for his role in an identity-theft and fraud scheme that targeted thousands of U.S. servicemembers and veterans. Boling pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. He is scheduled to be sentenced on January 14, 2027, and faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for each count; a federal district court judge will determine the sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
According to the Justice Department, Boling's co-conspirator Fredrick Brown, who worked as a civilian medical records administrator for the U.S. Army in South Korea, took digital photographs of the personally identifying information of thousands of military-affiliated individuals and provided the stolen information to Boling. Boling and his co-conspirators used the information to compromise servicemembers' and veterans' bank accounts and online government benefits accounts, and worked with a network of money mules in the United States who received the stolen funds and remitted a portion of them to the Philippines. Boling was deported by the Philippines to the United States in May 2026 to face charges.
Boling is the third defendant to plead guilty in the scheme. Co-conspirators Fredrick Brown and Trorice Crawford previously pleaded guilty and were sentenced to 151 and 46 months in prison, respectively. Co-conspirators Jongmin Seok and Allan Albert Kerr remain fugitives. James R. Ives, Director of the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, said defrauding the men and women who defended the country is reprehensible and that DCIS and its partners will relentlessly pursue those who steal from service members.
