Eric Cardenas of Orlando, Florida, pleaded guilty on November 19, 2024, in the Circuit Court of Orange County, State of Florida, to credit card fraud related charges. The same day, Cardenas was sentenced to four days of incarceration and was assessed a fine of $473. Our investigation found that Cardenas and a codefendant were part of a sophisticated credit card fraud ring operating throughout central Florida. They used fraudulently obtained credit cards, to include an Amtrak Wright Express Corporation (WEX) card, to purchase fuel.
Judicial proceedings for the codefendant in this investigation are pending.
