LOS ANGELES, California (TDR) — Marry Ann Magdamit, a former U.S. Postal Service letter carrier, has pleaded guilty to a bank fraud conspiracy involving stolen checks, debit and credit cards, and personal information, which she and her associates used to finance luxury travel and flaunt on social media.
Sophisticated Mail Theft Operation
While working at the Torrance Main Post Office in Los Angeles County, Magdamit intercepted mail containing financial instruments and sensitive personal data. She then activated stolen cards or sold them to co-conspirators, arranging for fraudulent check cashing with counterfeit IDs matching the intended recipients.

The Justice Department confirmed that federally insured banks and credit unions were among the institutions targeted, marking a substantial financial crime impact on both the victims and the banking sector.
Flaunting Ill-Gotten Gains
Prosecutors said Magdamit showcased her profits through Instagram posts featuring piles of cash, along with luxury trips to Aruba and Turks and Caicos. A December 2024 search of her Carson, California apartment yielded 133 stolen credit/debit cards, 16 Treasury checks, and a loaded ghost gun with a 27-round magazine.
Arrest and Upcoming Sentencing
Authorities arrested Magdamit on July 1 after learning she continued using stolen cards. A same-day search uncovered additional stolen cards. She has agreed to forfeit a Rolex watch and other luxury items.
The 31-year-old faces up to 30 years in federal prison when sentenced on October 27.
