Students selling bracelets to support paralyzed former classmate

When a group of Elon University students were pressed to do a project for tiffany jewellery senior seminar, the answer was simple: “Botswana Lee.” One of their classmates, 21-year-old Lee Mynhardt, was paralyzed from the chest down in early February during a fight at an off-campus party and had to withdraw from school.

Mynhardt, from Botswana, was one semester away from graduating with a degree in business administration. He was known affectionately by his friends as “Botswana Lee.” His classmates decided they would collect donations from local businesses and from the community for their final project. The goal is help raise awareness for spinal cord injuries.

Elon University spokesman Dan Anderson said the students are selling rubber wrist bands for the fundraiser, called “Project Botswana.” Student Kevin Wellington said that all proceeds from the Botswana bracelets will aid Mynhardt and his family. The money will go toward his medical bills and his family’s housing costs.

“He is one of the nicest kids you’d ever meet,” Wellington said of Mynhardt. “He was always happy to see you.” “Even now he remains optimistic about everything.” Wellington hopes the fundraiser will draw awareness to the serious issue of spinal cord injuries. The students have been collecting money from a variety tiffany accessories of sources, Anderson said, and have organized on-campus booths and fundraisers throughout April.

LOCAL BUSINESSES HAVE also started chipping in to raise money for Mynhardt. On Thursday, 5 percent of all restaurant proceeds from Cantina Roble in Elon went to Project Botswana.

B. Christopher’s Restaurant, where Mynhardt worked as a bartender, will also be sponsoring a fundraiser for him next week.

The bracelets, which are being sold for $5 each, each read SCI (Spinal Cord Injury) Awareness.

They also are inscribed with “Cheers,” for the welcome that Mynhardt often used to greet both friends and strangers.

Last month, John Ferrell Cassady, 21, and Clinton Joseph Blackburn, 22, were indicted tffany keys on one count of felonious assault inflicting serious bodily injury. Cassady, an Elon student and Blackburn, a UNCG student, were arrested after turning themselves into the Elon Police Department.

Mynhardt is currently at the Carolina Rehab Center where he is in stable condition and undergoing treatment.

ID theft ring included wig-wearing check casher from SC

A sophisticated identity theft ring that counted Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s Tiffany and co wife among its victims didn’t stop at stealing money electronically. Authorities said Tuesday it also sent a woman wearing a variety of wigs into bank branches to drain their accounts in person.

Shonya Michelle Young, 38, of Myrtle Beach, was being held Tuesday at a federal detention center in Miami on a charge of conspiracy to commit bank fraud.

“She was a major check casher,” U.S. Marshals Service spokesman Barry Golden said Tuesday.

At her first court appearance Tuesday, U.S. Magistrate Judge William Turnoff ordered Young held until Thursday, when another hearing will be held to determine when she will be transferred to federal custody in Virginia. Prosecutors said Young had been a fugitive for more than two months.

Hundreds of victims were targeted in D.C., Maryland, Virginia, Illinois and elsewhere earrings. Among them: Anna Bernanke, whose purse was stolen outside a Capitol Hill coffee shop in August 2008. Someone started cashing checks using the Bernankes’ bank account days later.

According to District of Columbia police, the purse contained Anna Bernanke’s Social Security card, checkbook, credit cards and IDs. The amount of money stolen from the couple has not been disclosed.

When Young was arrested Monday at a corporate apartment complex near Miami International Airport, authorities said she had a fraudulent New York driver’s license and a Visa debit card under the name Deborah L. Taverna, along with several wigs.

“She had about three wigs that she would wear to mimic her victims or change her appearance,” Golden said.

Young would impersonate the victims to obtain fake IDs and cash illegal checks, draining their bank accounts, authorities said.

In court Tuesday, Turnoff listed numerous aliases and three Social Security numbers Young allegedly key rings used.

Similar scenes played out at bank branches across the country as other ring members used IDs, personal checks and bank information to impersonate victims, according to court documents.

Ten of the alleged ring’s members have been charged, and other fugitives are being sought, authorities said. The suspects were identified in an investigation by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Secret Service and D.C. police.

U.S. Marshals initially sought Young at her South Carolina home, but she had fled to Miami, authorities said. Young told the court that she is an unemployed widow who supports a 19-year-old. Her federal public defender did not return a phone message Tuesday. Authorities described her as a girlfriend of one of the alleged ringleaders but wouldn’t identify which one.

The Federal Reserve declined to comment Tuesday because the investigation is ongoing. Last week, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke thanked law enforcement officials for working to solve the case and prevent others from becoming victims.

“Identity theft is a serious crime that affects millions of Americans each year. Our family was but one of 500 necklaces separate instances traced to one crime ring,” Bernanke said.

From January 2007 through May, the ring allegedly stole more than $2.1 million, and the frauds involved at least 10 financial institutions, according to court documents.

A suspected ringleader, Clyde Austin Gray Jr. of Waldorf, Md., pleaded guilty July 22 in Alexandria, Va., federal court. Prosecutors said Gray hired pick pockets then made counterfeit IDs for coconspirators who conducted the bank transactions. Gray allegedly took a cut of the proceeds.

Another man and another woman who prosecutors say were check cashers in the scheme also have pleaded guilty.
