“Great work by federal law enforcement to thwart Oro’s plan,” said United States Attorney Mike Stuart. “Their work has prevented the victimization of many West Virginians.”

Oro admitted that on November 30, 2018 that he shipped 55 credit cards and the device equipment from Austin, Texas to Charleston, West Virginia. Oro also admitted the intent with the 55 cards was to defraud individuals whose accounts were linked to those cards.

Oro faces up to 15 years imprisonment when he is sentenced on October 21, 2019.

Assistant United States Attorney Chris Arthur handled the prosecution. The plea hearing was held before United States District Judge Joseph R. Goodwin.
