A man wore a bracelet with a Bible verse when he withdrew “a significant amount of fraudulently obtained funds” from a metro Atlanta bank, the FBI said Friday.
Now authorities are trying to find him and another man, who officials said participated in an email compromise scheme that allowed them to make off with money that belonged to companies in Texas.
One of the men withdrew the stolen funds from a Forest Park SunTrust bank on April 4, said Lauren Hagee, a spokeswoman in the FBI’s Dallas office. He had long dreadlocks pulled back in a ponytail, glasses, a goatee and acne scarring on his right cheek. He wore a necklace with a white pendant and a Bluetooth headset around his neck.
On his right wrist, the man had on a white bracelet with red lettering referring to Bible verse Isaiah 54:17, Hagee said. On his left wrist, he wore a watch and a bracelet. He also had a ring on his left hand. The man wore a blue T-shirt, blue and red shorts, and tan and white Nike shoes with a red swoosh.
The next day, the other man withdrew stolen funds from a Tucker branch, according to Hagee. The man had short black hair and a goatee and wore a long-sleeve gray sweater, a striped shirt, dark pants and bright blue shoes.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact a local FBI office or submit tips online.
