Feds: Fraudster tied $1540 to scrotum with shoelace
SEPTEMBER 7––In a revelation that will spawn a slew
of jokes about the size of one fraud suspect’s balls, a Florida man
arrested Friday was found with more than $1500 tied to his scrotum with a
shoelace, according to federal investigators.
The cash was lashed to the nether regions of Steven Black, one of
five defendants named last week in a criminal complaint charging them
with conspiracy, identity theft, and fraud. Black, 22, and his
codefendants allegedly traveled from Florida to Missouri as part of a
credit card and check fraud ring, according to filings in U.S. District
Court in St. Louis.
According to an affidavit sworn by Secret Service Agent Bryce Husack,
Black was busted last Monday after fleeing from a car that was being
chased by local cops. "A search of Black pursuant to his arrest revealed
$1,540.00 in currency tied to his scrotum with a shoe lace,” reported
Husack.
Husack’s affidavit,
a copy of which you’ll find here,
does not detail the denominations of the bills recovered, nor does it
disclose who was charged with counting the loot. It also offers no
insight as to why Black eschewed a wallet or money clip in favor of his
private protuberance.
Black’s rap sheet includes collars for cocaine possession, grand
theft, tampering with evidence, resisting arrest, and pot possession,
according to court records. Black’s attorney, Daniel Juengel, did not
return a TSG call seeking comment about his client, who remains in
federal custody. (2 pages)
