A former bank loan officer has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bank fraud in a scheme that involved obtaining loans in the names of inmates at a Massachusetts prison.
Nadaje Hendrix, 26, from Brighton, admitted to her role in the conspiracy, which took place between December 2019 and August 2021. Hendrix, who worked as a loan officer and assistant branch manager at a federal credit union, collaborated with an accomplice, Glenroy Miller, who was incarcerated at the time.
The scheme involved creating fraudulent loan applications using the personal information of inmates and other individuals. The loans, totaling approximately $134,000, were then disbursed to individuals who impersonated the inmates with the help of accomplices within the prison.
