Treyvon Alexander admitted to “orchestrating the largest known theft of checks from the mail in Cincinnati” and was given a six-year jail sentence.
According to a news release from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, the 21-year-old Georgetown, Kentucky, man was sentenced in federal court in Cincinnati on September 12 for conspiracy to commit bank fraud after collaborating with others, including a postal employee, to steal more than $7 million in checks from the mail.

Alexander was sentenced to 72 months in jail by Judge Douglas R. Cole, who also mandated that he pay over $500,000 in restitution.
Destiny Neblett, 23, a former Cincinnati postal worker, stole mail from a processing plant while she was working and gave the checks to her boyfriend, 23-year-old Lonnel Lucas, according to court filings.
After, Lucas would sell the checks to Alexander, who would process them and convert the stolen money. The checks were frequently made out to different local businesses.
According to The Enquirer, Alexander pled guilty to the charges in February.

According to the announcement, law enforcement agents recovered 1,480 stolen checks worth about $7.4 million. The United States Postal Service sent many of the checks to the intended recipient without any actual loss after recovering them during the execution of search warrants.
Neblett entered a guilty plea in August 2025, and Lucas will make his appearance in federal court on September 30 for a plea hearing.
In February, former U.S. Postal Service (USPS) worker Nakedra Shannon, 30, was given a prison sentence for her involvement in a conspiracy that led to the theft of checks totaling millions of dollars in Charlotte over a three-month period.
