No, Not That Prince.....Sam Kennedy — who is "also known as 'Prince,'" an official indictment states — is a 33-year-old Liberian citizen who was indicted for bank fraud, conspiracy and identity theft by a Bridgeport grand jury.
Kennedy, a.k.a. "Prince," is charged with obtaining ID information from at least four people and making phony forms of identification for those folks. He then used those fake IDs to open accounts at Citibank branches in Fairfield, Norwalk and Greenwich.
"Prince" wrote counterfeit checks to deposit in the accounts and planned to draw out cash (to blow on diamonds and pearls, we guess) and then leave town (going much 2 fast). The people whose identities he stole would get the wrap for the bad checks. (How could he just leave them standing — alone in a world so cold?)
"At all times relative to this Indictment, the defendant, Sam Kennedy, also known as 'Prince' was a resident of New York," reads the indictment.
We asked Tom Carson, spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney for Connecticut, why the alias Kennedy shares with his royal badness is referenced in the indictment. "It's not uncommon for a defendant's 'aka' to appear in a charging document," Carson says. "It may be a street name, or the name that a defendant is more commonly known as. However, I don't know to what extent he used or was called the name."
We do know that someone who wears ass-less pants probably has the same amount of common sense as someone who thinks there is any money to left to steal from Citibank.
