Two South Florida men have been indicted on fraud and money laundering charges for allegedly carrying out an insider scheme that bilked TracFone Wireless Inc out of millions of dollars, federal prosecutors in Miami said Wednesday. Francis Maikisch, of Pembroke Pines, was a freight supervisor at TracFone, a prepaid mobile phone provider, between June 2008 and November 2012. During that time he knowingly caused the company to wire funds to pay fraudulent invoices submitted by freight company owner Angel Moran, of Miami, prosecutors said. Both Maikisch, 49, and Moran, 46, face money laundering charges pursuant to Title 18, US Code, Section 1957 – a charge that is used when a defendant is suspected of engaging in transactions involving more than $10,000 in crime proceeds. If convicted the defendants could face decades in prison. The indictment also seeks to forfeit $2 million, the amount the men allegedly stole from TracFone, prosecutors said.
