In his plea agreement, he admitted to conspiring with others to place skimming devices onto bank ATMs in Greater Cincinnati, including Cincinnati and Green Twp. in Hamilton County and Liberty Twp. in Butler County.
Co-conspirators used devices to steal information from cardholders and defraud financial institutions. Multiple ATM locations were reported victimized during the timeframe Urseiu and his co-conspirators were operating in the Southern District of Ohio.
Fingerprints on cameras placed with the skimming devices in Ohio matched Urseiu’s prints from arrests in New York in Michigan. His cellphones also contained photos of ATM skimming devices, recording devices and large amounts of cash.
A sentencing hearing has not yet been set.
