The following press release was published by the U.S. Secret Service on Oct. 21, 2019. It is reproduced in full below.

Oro intended to victimize many individuals, said United States Attorney Mike Stuart. As a result of the excellent work of U.S. Postal Inspectors and U.S. Secret Service Agents, Oro will be going to federal prison instead of carrying out his fraudulent plans.

Oro previously admitted that on Nov. 30, 2018 he shipped 55 credit cards and the device equipment from Austin, Texas to Charleston, West Virginia. He further admitted the intent with the 55 cards was to defraud individuals whose accounts were linked to those cards.

The United States Secret Service and the United States Postal Inspection Service conducted the investigation. United States District Judge Joseph R. Goodwin presided over the hearing. Assistant United States Attorney Chris Arthur handled the prosecution.
