Canadian Guilty in US Multi-Million Fraud

Poupak Jannissar, a 52-year-old from Quebec, Canada, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering in a federal court in Las Vegas. Jannissar and his co-conspirators operated fraudulent companies using fake names and services, such as Computer Run and You Can Fax Too, to steal millions from U.S. bank accounts. They used these sham companies to illegally debit victims’ accounts by pretending to offer online services that were never actually provided.

The scheme involved purchasing lists with stolen personal information and making unauthorized debits from bank accounts. If victims did not notice and dispute the initial fraudulent charges, the companies would continue to withdraw funds repeatedly. The stolen money was then transferred to accounts in Canada.

Jannissar’s arrest occurred on January 22 at Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport, following a criminal complaint and warrant issued in Nevada. His guilty plea was to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of money laundering, which could result in a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for each charge.

Federal authorities, including the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Office of Inspector General, investigated the case. They emphasized the seriousness of the crime, which undermines trust in financial systems and exploits consumers. Jannissar will be sentenced later, with the court considering federal sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors.
