Hazell had pleaded guilty on July 16, 2019.
According to court documents, between June 16, 2018, and Feb. 27, 2019, Hazell used 91 different stolen credit card numbers to purchase theme park tickets and hotel packages from Universal valued at approximately $291,170. Hazell routinely called the Universal call center to make the fraudulent purchases, each time using a different stolen credit card number and identifying himself as the credit card holder. After making the fraudulent purchases, Hazell and his associates used the theme parks self-serve kiosks to pick up the tickets. The tickets were then sold to unsuspecting vacationers using an online website.
This case was investigated by the U.S. Secret Service. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Chauncey A. Bratt.
