Getting your player ready...
A key player in a national check-fraud ring has been sentenced to more than 11 years in prison for his role in passing fraudulent checks.
The ring used two shells corporations — Mount Rocky Logistics and Expo Banquet — to pass fake checks written for less than $500 at businesses in Aspen, Carbondale, Delta, Durango, Glenwood Springs, Grand Junction, Montrose, Rifle and Olathe.
Salvador Ramirez, 23, was sentenced in Mesa County to 11 years and three months under the supervision of the Colorado Department of Corrections.
He was a recruiter, driver and check passer for the ring.
