Carlos Banegas-Contreras, 47, an illegal alien from Honduras, just copped a 27-month bid for bank fraud. The scheme? Fake IDs and 178 fraudulent paychecks worth $299,474.00, cashed at check-cashing joints and local banks.
Banegas-Contreras pleaded guilty back in October, and now he's headin' to federal lockup for his troubles. The boys in blue shut this one down tight — no more checks cashin' or IDs fakin' for this crew.
