Vanney Defrauded Wilkes County Diamond Dealer Case
Robert L. Vannoy of Vannoy in Wilkes County was found guilty of using the mails to defraud a New York diamond concern and was sentenced to two years in a Atlanta Federal prison. The Wilkesboro trial detailed a scheme using forged credit ratings and fake stationery to obtain diamonds worth over $2,000. Inspector Hodgin described how Vannoy forged blanks and forged statements to secure credits and shipments. The case traces back to Vannoy's past as a storekeeper and post office worker, with stones possibly sold or hidden by the time of the Atlanta sentence.
