AFFIDAVIT
I, Natalya Kaczmarezyk, being first duly sworn, hereby depose and state as follows:

INTRODUCTION AND AGENT BACKGROUND

1. Iam a Special Agent with the United States Secret Service (““USSS”) and have been
so employed since April 2017. During my career, I have been trained to conduct criminal
investigations involving or relating to the financial infrastructure of the United States, including
identity theft, counterfeit U.S. currency, wire fraud, and access device fraud. I have completed the
Criminal Investigator Training Program at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in
Glynco, Georgia. I am currently assigned to the Transnational Crimes Squad of the Miami Field
Office, within the USSS. I have participated in investigations into counterfeit identities, identity
theft, access device fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud, and other federal crimes, and I have applied for
numerous search warrants in relation to those investigations.

2. Additionally, [have been working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”)
and the Miami-Dade County Safe Streets and Violent Gang Task Force for approximately two
years. During my time working with the FBI and the Miami-Dade County Safe Streets and Violent
Gang Task Force, [have investigated gang-related murder, assault, weapons possession, organized
crime, identity theft, violent crimes in aid of racketeering, and the laundering of monetary
instruments associated with these crimes. I have participated in several gang investigations and
have conducted physical surveillance, executed multiple search warrants, and arrested multiple
gang members. [have also participated in the debriefing of defendants, informants, and witnesses.

a I am authorized to apply for and execute search warrants and arrest warrants for
offenses enumerated in Title 18 of the United States Code. I have participated in and directed

numerous investigations involving identity theft, and various types of fraud committed using stolen

Case 1:21-cr-20380-RNS Document1 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/25/2021 Page 4 of 15

identities. As a result of my training and experience, I am familiar with tactics, methods, and
techniques used in committing various types of fraud violations of federal law.

4. Based on information contained in this Affidavit, I respectfully submit there is
probable cause for the issuance of a criminal complaint charging Kenny Terlent (“TERLENT”)
with: (1) possession of fifteen or more unauthorized access devices, in violation of Title 18, United
States Code, Section 1029(a)(3); (2) aggravated identity theft, in violation of Title 18, United
States Code, Section 1028A(a)(1), (3) conspiracy to commit access device fraud, in violation of
Title 18, United States Code, Section 1029(b)(1); and (4) illegal possession of a machine gun, in
violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 922(0).

5. The facts set forth in this Affidavit are based on my personal knowledge and
observations, the knowledge and observations of other law enforcement personnel, information
and documents received from other sources of information, as well as information gained through
my training and experience. The information contained in this Affidavit is true and correct, to the
best of my knowledge and belief. This Affidavit is submitted for the limited purpose of establishing
probable cause for the issuance of a criminal complaint, and thus does not include each and every
fact known to law enforcement about this investigation.

BACKGROUND

6. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the USSS have been conducting a joint
investigation into the 77th Street Gang, which is sometimes called “Uptown,” “Every Body Eats,”
or “EBE.” Their rival gang is the Little Haiti Vultures, which is sometimes called “L.H.V.,”
“L.H.G.,” “7 Block,” and “70 Street/60 Street/59 Street.” The 77th Street Gang operates in the
Southern District of Florida, and is involved in fraud-related crimes, identity theft, car jackings,

car theft, shootings, murders, and other violent crimes. The gang funds its activities largely

Case 1:21-cr-20380-RNS Document1 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/25/2021 Page 5 of 15

through fraud. The gang uses various access device fraud and wire fraud schemes to steal funds
from victims. Based on areview of social media, electronic evidence, and interviews of 77th Street
Gang members, law enforcement has learned that the group obtains personal identification
information (i.e. names, dates of birth, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, and social
security numbers) (“PIT”) in various ways, including from the dark web and from robberies and
burglaries. The PII is used a number of different ways, including, but not limited to, credit card
fraud and bank account takeover schemes. In bank account takeover schemes, members of the
group steal from victim bank accounts and wire the funds into other people’s bank accounts before
ultimately using the funds to unjustly enrich themselves. TERLENT is a target of the above-
described investigation and is a member of the 77th Street Gang.

PROBABLE CAUSE

Gang-Related Violent Crime
7. 77th Street/EBE and LHV have been in an escalating gang-feud since at least
December 14, 2018. On that day, three LHV members were shot in Miami, and the shooters are
suspected to be 77th street members. The violence between the two groups escalated in June 2020
and thereafter, when the following violent crimes took place (among others):

a. June 16, 2020: Victim “G.L.” (77th Street/EBE member) was killed in
Miami by a suspected member (or members) of LHV. Several 77th street
members with G.L. at the time of the shooting engaged in a shootout with
the killer(s).

b. Later on June 16, 2020: LHV member or associate “K.M.” was killed. This
killing is believed to be in retribution for the killing of G.L.

c. June 18, 2020: Victim P.P. was killed at 10334 North Miami Avenue,
Miami Shores, Florida. P.P. was a twenty year old female friend of an LHV
member, and she was shot to death outside of his house while waiting in a
car. Law enforcement recovered seventy shell casings from the scene,
including: (1) casings from 7.62 caliber ammunition, which is the type of
ammunition used in Draco semi-automatic pistols; and (2) casings from 9

Case 1:21-cr-20380-RNS Document1 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/25/2021 Page 6 of 15

mm ammunition, which is the caliber of ammunition used in the Glock
firearm recovered from TERLENT’s residence, as described below.

July 2020 Interview of Witness-1+

8. In July of 2020, Witness-1, a 77th street gang member, was interviewed by law
enforcement. Witness-1 provided information pertaining to the shooting where P.P. was killed on
June 18, 2020. Witness-1 explained that, on June 17, 2020, he received a telephone call from a
fellow gang-member, who will be referred to here as Gang Member-1 (or “GM1”). GM1 told
Witness-1 that they had identified the individual whom they believed had killed G.L. Witness-1
explained that right after G.L. was shot and killed, several 77th Street Gang members located an
individual (K.R.) that they believed was involved in setting up that murder and was associated
with the person who had done the shooting. A 77th Street member beat up K.R. and stole his
telephone. According to Witness-1, GM1 had been going through K.R.’s telephone in an attempt
to figure out who had been involved in the killing of G.L. Specifically, GM1 and others looked at
the addresses that had been visited by K.R. using the ride-sharing application Lyft. In that way,
they hoped to locate the person who had set up G.L.’s killing, and find where he was staying. They
referred to this person as the “big fish.” According to Witness-1, when GM1 called on June 17,
2020, GM1 told Witness-1 that they had identified the “big fish” and were planning on shooting
him that night. Witness-1 was unable to join with the group that was planning to shoot the “big
fish,” but he believed that the group had been TERLENT, GM1, and two other members of 77
street. He believed they had all dropped their cell phones at a shared location prior to the shooting,
in order to avoid detection. However, Witness-1 could not be certain exactly who was at the

shooting, because he was not there. Witness-1 explained that P.P. was an innocent victim who had

! Witness-1 has an extensive history of violent gang-related crimes, access device fraud and aggravated identity theft.
Witness-1 previously told law enforcement that he was not responsible for a certain shooting, but later took credit for
that shooting.

Case 1:21-cr-20380-RNS Document1 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/25/2021 Page 7 of 15

been shot in error, when the shooters were really attempting to locate and kill a rival gang-member,
the “big fish,” who had been involved with the killing of G.L., and had been located using
information retrieved from K.R.’s stolen phone.
Search of TERLENT’s Text Messages

9. On September 23, 2020, law enforcement obtained a search warrant that allowed
for the seizure of TERLENT’s text messages, and other data associated with his phone, related to
shootings, murder, firearms, fraud, identity theft, of gang membership/activity. Those text
messages showed that TERLENT is involved in access device fraud and identity theft, and has
been since at least May 28, 2020. The fraud-related evidence is set out in greater detail below.

10. Additionally, during the execution of that warrant, law enforcement found several
text messages sent by TERLENT around the time of the P.P. murder, directly related to that
murder.

a. Approximately one hour before the murder: TERLENT texted the address
of the murder (10334 N Miami Ave, Miami Shores 33150) to a gang
associate.

b. Approximately one hour before the murder: After sending the above text,
TERLENT received a text from a gang-associate who will be referred to as
Witness-2. That text said “Pull up I got my drac on me.” Based on my
training and experience, I know that a drac is another name for a Draco
semi-automatic pistol, similar in appearance to an AK-47, but with a short
barrel and no buttstock. Draco’s use 7.62 rifle rounds like those recovered
at the scene of P.P.’s murder.

c. Approximately 30 minutes before the murder: TERLENT sent the address
of the murder (10334 N Miami Ave, Miami Shores 33150) to Witness-2.

11. Note that, previously — around May 24, 2020 — TERLENT texted Witness-2 and
asked: “Ain’t no dracs on the market?” Witness-2 responded “Naw But I Got Somebody that will

go in Nd grab one.”

Access Device Fraud and Aggravated Identity Theft

July 8, 2020: Search of GM1’s Residence
12. On July 8, 2020, law enforcement obtained a search warrant for the home and
phones of GM1, a member of the 77th street gang. During the execution of the search warrant, law
enforcement seized a cellphone from GM1 assigned phone number (786) 647-0027 (the “GM1
Phone”). During the search of the GM1 Phone, law enforcement saw several messages with

TERLENT including the following conversations concerning fraud and gang activity:

a. On 3/16/2020, the GM1 Phone sent a text to TERLENT stating “All US
Citizens are Entitled to $700 USD per week to stay at home to avoid the
spread of COVID-19 novel Coronavirus, starting March 16, 2020. The
Government grant pay is accessible to call no matter employment status.
Read full article here on how to claim.” Law enforcement believes 77th St
gang has been defrauding the government by submitting fraudulent
applications for COVID relief funds. The GM1 phone contained video data
displaying a user visiting several state labor websites and applying for
benefits using stolen identities. That video was then shared as a way of
showing others how to apply for benefits using stolen identities

b. On 6/4/2020, the GM1 Phone sent a message to TERLENT stating “Feds
got me” and “They looking for Bill.” On 6/4/2020 FBI Special Agents
interviewed GM1 and attempted to locate 77th Street gang member Bill
Clervil, whom was wanted by the FBI and USSS for fraud. TERLENT’s
target account responded with “They letting you go?”

Evidence of Fraud
13. As noted above, law enforcement obtained a search warrant allowing for the seizure
of TERLENT’s text messages and other data belonging to TERLENT that was associated with his
cell phone. During the execution of that search warrant, law enforcement found that TERLENT
had used a Chime Account associated with victim J.G. (the “J.G. Chime Account’). Chime is a
mobile application that allows people to send and receive money — among other things. It is
commonly used by fraudsters to move the proceeds of their fraud. Records received from Chime

showed that the J.G. Chime Account was opened in J.G.’s name using his personally identifiable

Case 1:21-cr-20380-RNS Document1 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/25/2021 Page 9 of 15

information. However, the address and phone number on the account were not those of J.G. In
fact, it is an address on 77th street in Miami.

14. Based on a review of the data obtained from Chime, the money going into the J.G.
Chime Account came from various financial institutions, including payments that appear to be
related to unemployment or other COVID fraud. Some of those payments are set out in the chart
below. Based on my training and experience, I believe that the payments from Conduent and
CDLE UI Benefits relate to unemployment or other COVID fraud. CDLE UI benefits stands for
Colorado Department of Labor Unemployment Insurance benefits. Conduent is a business process
services and solutions company that has been delivering government assistance due to the COVID-
19 Pandemic. I am aware of no evidence that TERLENT has ever lived in Colorado, or would
otherwise be rightfully entitled to apply for Colorado benefits. Importantly, the account data from
the J.G. Chime Account showed that a number of the attempted deposits into the J.G. Chime
Account were rejected with the following message: “name on deposit not the same as account.”
This is common in fraud schemes where the user is attempting to deposit money from one victim
(i.e., unemployment checks) into an account in a different victim’s name (here, J.G.). An example

of the account activity from the J.G. Chime Account is set out below:

User Deposit Source Amount | Date Status Reason for Returned
J.G. BANK OF AMERICA _ | 2500 September 16, Returned | Name on deposit not
2020 the same as account
J.G. Good Money, Gredit 20 August 23, 2020 | Deposited
ht. CDLE UI BENEFITS 1061 July 15, 2020 Returned | Name on deposit not
the same as account

15.

Case 1:21-cr-20380-RNS Document1 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/25/2021 Page 10 of 15

Based on areview of material provided by Chime, it is apparent that the J.G. Chime

account was opened using victim J.G.’s name, date of birth, and social security number.

16.

Additionally, from on or about May 26, 2020 to May 27, 2020, the TERLENT had

the following conversation with the user of a cell phone ending in 5432 (the “5432 Phone”):

Case 1:21-cr-20380-RNS Document1 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/25/2021 Page 11 of 15

Tz During a continued review of the information described above, law enforcement
located personally identifiable information belonging to significantly more than fifteen victims,
including names, dates of birth, and social security numbers belonging to individuals other than
TERLENT. This included the name, address, date of birth, and social security number belonging
to victim L.S. Victim L.S. was interviewed by law enforcement and stated that she does not know
TERLENT and she did not authorize TERLENT to possess or use her personally identifiable
information. Law enforcement also located the name, date of birth, social security number and
other information belonging to victim K.S. Victim K.S. was interviewed by law enforcement and
stated that she does not know TERLENT and she did not authorize TERLENT to possess or use
her personally identifiable information.

18. In addition to the above victims, during the execution of the search warrant, law

enforcement located a PDF document titled “I’m Rich Bitch 4)”. The PDF is a 7,620 page

document containing the personally identifiable information from thousands of victims, including
their names, dates of birth, addresses, social security numbers, and other information. On page 1
of the PDF, the top of the document lists the name of a medical facility in Orlando. Based on my
training and experience, I believe that TERLENT or one of his co-conspirators obtained the
aforementioned PDF in order to commit access device fraud and aggravated identity theft. They

would use the PII belonging to other individuals to commit fraud and make money, hence the title
of the document being “I’m Rich Bitch 4”.

To. In that PDF law enforcement found the personal information of victims J.A. and
D.A., including their names, dates of birth, social security numbers, and other information. Both
victims were interviewed by law enforcement, and confirmed that they did not know TERLENT,

and did not authorize him to possess their personal information.

May 2021: Search Warrant of Witness-2’s Premises

20. In May of 2021, law enforcement executed a search warrant at the apartment where
Witness-2 and his girlfriend were residing. Witness-2 was located outside of the building, and was
found in the possession of a Glock 20 pistol with an extended magazine. In addition, inside of the
residence, law enforcement located the following: (1) a black Century Arms International AK
Pistol with S/N M92PV030351, loaded with a high capacity banana clip and 7.62 x 39 ammunition;
(2) a black AR Pistol with S/N DB1901930, loaded with a PMAG 50 round drug magazine; (3) a
black Glock 40 Caliber Pistol (reported stolen), bearing serial number GGK436, loaded with
thirteen rounds of Blazer .40 caliber ammunition; (4) a black Glock 19 pistol bearing serial number
AAAG820, loaded with seven rounds of Blazer 9mm ammunition that had a machine gun “switch”
installed; (5) a green “ghost” pistol (no serial number) with a fully automatic “switch” installed;
(6) a green AR style “ghost” pistol; (7) dozens of rounds of ammunition (including 7.62 x 39
ammunition); and (8) eight high capacity drum magazines.

Interview of Witness-2

21. During the execution of the search warrant at Witness-2’s residence, he was
arrested for being a felon in possession of a firearm. After his arrest, Witness-2 was read his
Miranda rights, which he waived verbally and in writing. He then agreed to speak with law
enforcement. Witness-2 explained that some of the firearms in his apartment belonged to members
of the 77th street gang, including TERLENT and others, and that he was holding those firearms in
exchange for cash. Witness-2 explained that he obtained those firearms from TERLENT and
another gang member within the last month. When asked about the murder of P.P., Witness-2
confirmed that he provided firearms that evening to the individuals who are suspected of killing

P.P. More specifically, Witness-2 stated that he provided TERLENT and another gang member

Case 1:21-cr-20380-RNS Document1 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/25/2021 Page 13 of 15

with a Draco and a handgun that night. Witness-2 stated that he obtained money from TERLENT
the next morning for those firearms.
June 24, 2021: Search of TERLENT’s Residence in Miramar

22. On June 24, 2021, law enforcement executed a search warrant at TERLENT’s
residence. That search warrant allowed for the seizure and search of any cell phones located within
the residence, or on TERLENT’s person. During the execution of the warrant, law enforcement
approached TERLENT outside of his residence. TERLENT ran from law enforcement, slipped,
fell, and then threw his cell phone into the lake in his backyard. Based on my training and
experience, I believe this was an attempt to destroy evidence.

23. Law enforcement retrieved TERLENT’s cell phone from the lake, and searched it
pursuant to the search warrant. Within the phone, law enforcement located the personally
identifiable information of at least 15 or more victims. This included the names, dates of birth,
social security numbers, and other information belonging to the individuals other than TERLENT.

24. Within TERLENT’s residence, law enforcement located a Chime bank card in the
name of the same victim J.G. mentioned earlier. This is the same J.G. Chime Account that was
used, as described above, in an attempt to fraudulently obtain unemployment or other COVID
related benefits.

25. Also in TERLENT’s residence, law enforcement located a stolen Glock 19 bearing
serial number BBWB707. That Glock 19 had an “auto sear” affixed to it, which is colloquially
called a “switch.” An auto sear is a device that allows semi-automatic firearms to fire in fully
automatic mode. Law enforcement test-fired the Glock 19, and confirmed that it was capable of
firing in fully automatic mode, thus qualifying as a machine gun. Based on a database review by

the ATF, TERLENT does not have a permit to possess a machine gun. Note that Glock 19’s fire

Case 1:21-cr-20380-RNS Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/25/2021 Page 14 of 15

9 mm ammunition, which is the same caliber of ammunition that was found at the scene of the P.P.
murder. A picture of the recovered Glock 19 is set out below, the “switch” is the knobby block-
like apparatus with the small circle inside of it, located at the far left of the photo, at the rear end

of the firearm.

26. On March 27, 2021, TERLENT sent a text message to a group of 77" street gang
members and associates that included a picture of a Glock with a “switch” installed. After sending
that picture, TERLENT texted “Switch on that Glock that bitch keeps switching.” Also, while
reviewing the cell phone that TERLENT threw into the lake, law enforcement located a photograph
of a “switch” on the backplate of what appears to be the slide to a firearm. That photograph
resembles the “switch” that was found on the stolen Glock 19 in TERLENT’s residence.
