According to the Idaho Statesman, Saucekid obtained stolen bank card numbers and identifying information for their owners.

He then encoded the account numbers onto blank plastic cards. After using an automated system to change account PINs, he was able to withdraw cash from bank ATMS and buy merchandise from stores between July 23 and 26, 2016.

Police arrested Saucekid at the Boise Airport as he was about to board a flight. He was caught with a card encoding device and most than $6,000 in cash.

He was charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud, eight counts each of bank fraud and aggravated identity theft, and possession of several fraudulent bank cards.

He pleaded guilty to one of the counts of aggravated identity theft after the other charges were dropped.
