PORTLAND — A New York man was sentenced in federal court Wednesday to a year in prison for conspiracy to commit credit card fraud.
Kenny Deras, 25, of Bronx, N.Y., was also ordered to pay $101,610.29 in restitution and to three years of supervised release.
Deras, who had pleaded guilty in April, had traveled with two others from New York to New Hampshire and Maine in 2011. They used counterfeit American Express cards to buy gift cards and other merchandise at a number of Walmart stores, according to a court document filed by the government. One of the stores was in Biddeford.
The two other defendants, Shaheem Shaw and Mark Daniel, had previously been sentenced to seven months and 15 months, respectively.
