Louisville Man Charged in Computer Fraud Scheme

Water Filters Diverted from Company and Sold on eBay

April 8, 2010 - LOUISVILLE, KY—A federal grand jury in Louisville returned an indictment on April 6, 2010, against Senthill Mohun, age 31, a resident of Louisville, in Jefferson County, on charges of fraud in connection with the use of a computer, United States Attorney Candace G. Hill of the Western District of Kentucky announced today.

The Indictment alleges that between November 7, 2007, and March 10, 2008, Mohun accessed a protected computer and in doing so exceeded his authorized access and by doing so furthered a scheme to defraud and thereby obtained something of value, specifically 10,000 GE water filters.

In the event of a conviction, the maximum potential penalties are up to five years’ imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, and supervised release for a period of up to three years.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Marisa J. Ford, and it was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Mohun is scheduled to appear for arraignment before the United States Magistrate Judge on April 20, 2010, at 9:30 a.m., in Louisville, Kentucky.

The indictment of a person by a Grand Jury is an accusation only and that person is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
