Forgery Ring Smashed Across Coast. 24 Held
Police said a coast-to-coast forgery ring bilked millions by using white associates for face-to-face dealings in banks and businesses. At least 24 arrested across California and beyond, with leaders tied to Oakland suspects Har nest L Knox and Carl Sampson. The scheme spanned three years, involved forged IDs, counterfeit checks, and fraudulent credit card use, and operated through brief bank deposits and legitimate charges before vanishing.
