January 9, 2014 - A resident of Ohio admitted
today to defrauding a charter flight company and
other luxury brands of more than $100,000 worth
luxury goods and services. Christopher L.
Henderson, 32, of Akron, Ohio, pleaded guilty
before U.S. District Judge William J. Martini in
Newark federal court to an information charging
him with wire fraud.
From May through June 2013, Henderson and others
conspired to fraudulently obtain at least three
private charter flights from Jet Aviation, an
international business aviation services
company, with U.S. headquarters in Teterboro,
New Jersey, which provides charter flight
services.
Henderson and others also conspired to obtain
tens of thousands of dollars in other luxury
goods and services, all via sham lines of credit
issued to a well-known financial institution,
for the defendants’ and others’ use by
misrepresenting that they were employees at the
financial institution.
