A former New York banker has been sentenced to three years in prison for defrauding thousands of customers.
Union County Attorney William A. Daniel he says Tijah M. Williams-Rogers used her position as an accountant at a bank to act as an inside “scout,” investigating clients’ accounts and defrauding them of more than $75,000.
After researching bank customer records, Williams-Rogers shared her findings with other scammers to steal money from accounts she identified as targeted.
Superior Court Judge Gavin Handwerker sentenced Williams-Rogers to three years in New Jersey State Prison after pleading guilty to second-degree robbery. He must also pay $99,150 in restitution.
The offenses were uncovered by an investigation led by Detective Grant Mayes of the UCPO Special Prosecutions Unit between 2022 and 2023, when Williams-Rogers was employed as an accountant at an unnamed bank in Elizabeth.
Daniel says,
“People who are in financial positions have taken advantage of the people of their community to benefit from them, they will be held accountable.
