A federal grand jury charged Eunises Llorca-Menses of Florida, and Reiner Perez-Rives of Texas, with wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft.

Juan Jose Rodriguez-Castro and Wilberd Armando Reyes-Castro, aka “Jose M. Robels-Burgos” are the two individuals charged for supposedly conspiring to "commit bank fraud, possession of unauthorized access devices, possession of device making equipment, possession of document making implements, and aggravated identity theft."

The two Castros placed their skimming machines in gas stations and various other locations across multiple U.S. states in an operation which lasted from April 2016 to June 2018, according to DoJ's press release.

As the DoJ says in their indictment announcement, "the defendants used the stolen data to create hundreds of counterfeit credit, debit, and state identification cards. Fraudulently created credit cards were used to make at least $1.2 million dollars in purchases."
