Nail Salon Owner Sentenced to 3 Years in Federal Rison for Stealing Debit Card Pin Numbers

Dung Thi, 23, who owned Le Nails, was sentenced on Monday August 29, 2011 for stealing the pin numbers for customers' debit cards and using them to withdraw money from ATM's.

Thi was sentenced to 3 years in federal prison.

Thi's boyfriend, Sang Dahn, played some role in the scheme and will stand trial at a later date. Dahn will be charged with bank fraud charge and obstruction for allegedly demanding Thi to delete data from the storage device and ordering her not to name people in photographs taken in California who may be connected to the case.

The scheme netted $77,309 in withdrawals in Wisconsin and California, but under federal sentencing guidelines the intended loss was calculated to be $413,500 - $500 for each of 827 debit card accounts and passwords that police found on a portable data storage drive found in Thi's purse.
