Description: Las Vegas, Nevada criminal defense lawyer represented Defendant charged with rental car fraud and aggravated identity theft.

Brandon Christopher Kang, age 38, from July 2016 to July 2017, Kang — a Las Vegas resident at the time — conspired with co-defendants Dominique Dashon McGuire, Joshua Rahi Hall, and others to fraudulently rent vehicles from rental companies and private brokers with the intent to steal the vehicles and then sell the vehicles. As part of the scheme, Kang and others used fake identification to rent the vehicles. Next, they created false car titles, bills of sales, and other documents to make the purchase appear legitimate. They would advertise the stolen vehicles online at a fraction of their market values, then transport the vehicles to multiple states, including Nevada, California, and Arizona. Victims were required to pay by cash or cashier’s check for the vehicles. In total, more than $250,000 was stolen from victims.

U.S. Attorney Jason M. Frierson for the District of Nevada and Special Agent in Charge Spencer L. Evans for the FBI made the announcement.

This case was investigated by the FBI and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Tony Lopez and Jim Fang prosecuted the case.

Outcome: Defendant was sentenced to five years in prison followed by three years of supervised release.
