ARREST WARRANT: Georgia man accused of laundering nearly $63K from dead person’s account in Connecticut
CORNWALL, Conn. (WFSB) – A man from Georgia was arrested for laundering money from a dead person’s Fidelity account, Connecticut State Police said.
Troopers identified the suspect as 37-year-old Kevin Delandric Young of Atlanta.
According to an arrest warrant for Young, an attorney who represented the estate of the victim reported to state police that $62,800 was transferred out of a deceased person’s Fidelity account after the person died.
The report was made to state police in March 2025.
The warrant said the crime happened on Nov. 5, 2024 in Cornwall, CT.
Investigators said they were able to trace the money to a Middlesex Federal Savings/Novo account that they associated with Young and his business, Sophisticated Funk Entertainment LLC.
Bank records allegedly showed that a deposit was made to that account. They also showed two transfers that totaled $29,625 were made to another bank account associated with Young.
Young later admitted to state police his involvement in fraudulent activity.
Troopers said that he described the scheme as moving money through accounts, converting it to Bitcoin, and paying another person through the WhatsApp smartphone app.
Investigators characterized the scheme as an organized fraud operation.
They charged Young with first-degree larceny, conspiracy to commit first-degree larceny, and second-degree money laundering.
He faced a judge on May 1 in Torrington.
