“ Many of the bank accounts purchased by PINEDO over the internet were created using stolen identities of U.S. persons. Although PINEDO was not directly involved in the registration of these accounts using stolen identities, he willfully and intentionally avoided learning about the use of stolen identities. 3. Company 1 required users to submit bank account numbers as a means of verifying a user's identity. To circumvent this requirement, certain users (hereinafter "Users") registered for Company 1's online services with bank account numbers in the names of other people. ”
