Using skimmers on ATMs and gas pumps, they stole EBT card data, loaded it onto fake cards, and bought thousands of dollars in goods—including baby formula and candy—planning to resell them. They were caught in North Carolina, and at least ten people were victims of identity theft. Both face up to 20 years in prison, with sentencing pending.
