----ORIGINAL CASE October 2, 2020-----
The King County Sheriff's Office and U.S. Secret Service say Donvea Adams, Elias Graham and Solomon Leverette are all still wanted after they were indicted in federal court for bank fraud and aggravated identity theft.
Detectives say the suspects are part of a multi-state counterfeit check scheme. It’s a complex investigation in which the suspects are accused of using the stolen payroll account information from multiple small businesses to create fake checks. “We're talking about over a million dollars` worth of fraudulent charges, so this is a very significant loss for the people who are involved in this and these suspects were well-calculated in what they were doing. If we don't get them off the street, they're going to continue to commit crimes, they're going to continue to victimize people by taking identities and other things that they're doing,” said King County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ryan Abbott.
