Amazon Fraudster Sentenced to 2 Years in Prison for $3.5M Scheme

Ameer Nasir, 25, defrauded Amazon through its trucking network by registering 23 fake trucking businesses, costing the company over $3.5 million. He was sentenced to 24 months in prison and ordered to pay $3.5 million in restitution.
