A man identified as a former Denver resident has been accused of illegally obtaining money and lines of credit totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars from several Wyoming banks.
A federal grand jury in Cheyenne alleged that Anthony L. Ciocchetti used false IRS individual tax returns in his name to obtain loans and lines of credit exceeding $698,000 from four banks in Gillette.
The indictment also alleges Ciocchetti attempted to obtain a bank loan for $3.3 million from Bank of the West in Denver.
The grand jury returned a seven-count indictment accusing Ciocchetti of bank fraud, mail fraud, making false statements on bank loan applications and money laundering, the U.S. attorney’s office in Cheyenne said Sunday.
