NY ex-bank computer tech admits ID theft, $1M scam

NEW YORK (AP) - Prosecutors say a computer technician has admitted using 
a three-month stint at a New York bank to steal 2,000 other employees' 
identities, and then using their ID's for years to loot about $1 million 
from charities.

The Manhattan District Attorney's office said Thursday that Adeniyi 
Adeyemi (ah-DEN'-ee ah-deh-YEM'-ee) pleaded guilty to computer tampering 
and other charges. They carry a potential of up to 25 years in prison.

Prosecutors say he's expected to get 5 to 15 years in prison at his July 
21 sentencing and has agreed to forfeit about $468,000.

His lawyer didn't immediately return a call.

Prosecutors say Adeyemi used the stolen identities to open bank accounts 
as coffers for money he covertly transferred from charities that 
released banking information to ease donations.
