According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio, Smith “purchased more than 600 stolen debit and credit card accounts from the dark web, affecting victims in 25 states.”

It happened after Smith left office and had begun driving a delivery truck for Amazon.

They say he used “device making equipment” and a “reader encoder/writer program” to make reproduced credit cards with over 100 of the stolen accounts.
