Evidently I enjoy digging into “random” dockets and occasionally some dockets peak my interest - as is the case of Kyle Cary a/k/a Hugo Stacks. In order to fully understand the May 14, 2021 filing, its best to rewind the clock, all the way back to:
RAY EKOBENA , a/k/a "Pops," after he pleaded guilty, the Court imposed a below-guidelines sentence of 80 months, plus the mandatory 24-month sentence required by U.S.C. § 1028A - the Defendant filed an Appeal in the 4thCCOAs to overturn his conviction.
The Defendant violated the terms of his mandatory supervised probation-thus triggering an October 2020 -Waiver of Hearing to modify conditions of probation/supervised release as to Ray Ekoben; https://ecf.vaed.uscourts.gov/doc1/189110808342
January 8, 2021 Minute Entry for proceedings held before District Judge Claude M. Hilton: Final Hearing re Revocation of Supervised Release as to Ray Ekobena held on 1/8/2021. The Court found that the Defendant was in violation and he is remanded until 5:00 p.m. today. Upon release, defendant is continued on same terms and conditions of SR as previously imposed… https://ecf.vaed.uscourts.gov/doc1/189110978291
STEFAN EKOBENA, a/k/a "Hot Lotto," (Ray’s younger brother) - on Jun 4, 2019 the Defendant filed a
Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus - challenging the constitutionality of the disciplinary hearing that resulted in him losing part of his good conduct time. The defendant requested the three-year period of Supervised Release be terminated. ECF https://ecf.mssd.uscourts.gov/doc1/10515899532
the Court (SDMS) stated that it lacks jurisdiction to consider Ekobena’s reduction request. Given he was not sentenced by the SDMS Court and no transfer of supervised release has been effected. ECF https://ecf.mssd.uscourts.gov/doc1/10516353482
GANI COLE, a/k/a "Tails,"
RODNEY HARDY, a/k/a "Philly,"
DEALLTO DAVIS, a/k/a "Money Bags," "Al," 2015 convicted of conspiracy to commit money laundering in federal court in EDVA-Alexandria. His sentence was six months in prison and three years of supervised release. Whilst on supervised release —> he was initially charged and subsequently indicted. In July 2020 he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud Wells Fargo Bank - see Jan 2020 Search Warrant ECF https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/doc1/04507587672
JEROME JOHNSON…
the original 2015 indictment, you’ll note that Kyle Cary, is not listed as a defendant and clearly page 1 of the (June 2015) Indictment did not have any redactions as to other defendants
DOJ - ECF - JUNE 2015 INDICTMENT
The charges: 18 U.S.C.§ 1028A -Aggravated Identity Theft, 18 U.S.C. § 1341 -Mail Fraud, 18 U.S.C. § 1344 -Bank Fraud, 18 U.S.C. § 1349 -Conspiracy to Commit Bank Fraud, 18 U.S.C.§ 1956(h) -Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering, and 18U.S.C. § 1957 -Money Laundering.
The defendants ran a a five year check fraud and identity theft “conspiracy” -scheme. The Defendants targeted fourteen financial institutions. Ray Ekobena and brother, Stefan Ekobena, printed fraudulent checks using victims’ bank account information. Which the brothers obtained aforementioned information by convincing numerous bank tellers and other financial institutions insiders, who had access to sensitive personal information through their employment.
DOJ - 2015 Ihdictment
Card Cracking
The ABA - American Bankers Association, and not to be confused with ABA -American Bar Association —defines Card Cracking as;
The fraudster deposits worthless checks using mobile deposit and immediately withdraws the funds at an ATM. The customer then calls to report a stolen card or compromised credentials. The bank reimburses the customer for funds lost and the criminal provides the customer with a cut of the money withdrawn using worthless checks…
ABA’s 2015 Info-Graphic Card Crackiing
Victims/Scops of Fraudulent Check scheme; victimized over 200 individuals and caused an actual loss amount of $712,231, and an intended loss amount of over $1.25 million. Victims include well-known small businesses and charities, including the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the Children’s National Medical Center. So yesRay’s “side-fraud hustle” of creating numerous elaborate plots to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from Ergo Ray & his brother and the other co-conspirators are truly POS.
Initial Appearance in Rule 5(c)(3) Proceedings as to Kyle Cary held on 5/14/2021 before Magistrate Judge Gina L Simm - Detention Hearing as to Kyle Cary held on 5/14/2021 before Magistrate Judge Gina L Simms. The thing is documents 2 thru 4 are under seal -
so you have to look at the EDVA docket for Case 1:15-CR-00327-001 and from there you can glean a few facts;
The only logical deduction I can make is Kyle Cary may have violated the Terms of his Supervised Probation. If you look at the other defendants- this explains why I took the time to drill down on each defendant but specifically:
RAY EKOBENA

DEALLTO DAVIS2, a/k/a "Money Bags," "Al," 2015 convicted of conspiracy to commit money laundering in federal court in EDVA-Alexandria. His sentence was six months in prison and three years of supervised release. Whilst on supervised release —> he was initially charged and subsequently indicted. In July 2020 he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud Wells Fargo Bank
So that’s where the dockets tell the story - a factually based story not some deranged QAnon-for-the-Left Coo-Coo for Cocoa Puffs conspiracy theory. However I’ll be close to a terminal tomorrow so I might be able to access the Kyle Cary Case and why he had a detention hearing on May 17, 2021 - but like I said I’m making a reasonable and quasi-informed deduction.

ps does anyone have a decent fly swatter? The Le-Garbage groupies are all up on Fly’s jock saying he/she is me. Bless their liddl’ hearts. I would never bequeath that kind of hell on anyone. I’ve repeatedly stated that I am not on Twitter. Nor do I have any plans rejoin that cesspool of a platform. Apparently I also have googolplex sock accounts. So let me spell it out for you. I’ll do this really slow and sans typos;
I. H. A. V. E. A. J.O.B. and I. A. M. N.O.T. O.N. T.W.I.T.T.E.R
My dear sweet junkyard dog - I regret to inform you that you continue to be Le Garbage’s biggest liability. Commonsense dictates, if you need to in all caps scream “I’m a nice person” chances are you’re actually a hateful, bitter and awful person. I dedicate this song to you

Davis pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The charge carries a statutory maximum sentence of five years in prison. Under federal sentencing guidelines, Davis faces a likely recommended sentence of 24 to 30 months in prison. The plea agreement calls for Davis to pay $144,117 in restitution and the same amount in a forfeiture money judgment.
Thx! Have seen cases that start as simple B&E morph into complex investigations involving identity theft, financial and credit card fraud, drug distribution etc cuz often when the initial event is linked into all sorts of other stuff. Investigations can go on for months ...
