July 16, 2004 President Signs “Identity Theft Penalty Enhancement Act” (Public Law 108-275) Summary as Passed by the Senate without amendment: Identity Theft Penalty Enhancement Act - (Sec. 2) Amends the Federal criminal code to establish penalties for aggravated identity theft. Prescribes sentences, to be imposed in addition to the punishments provided for the related felonies, of: (1) two years' imprisonment for knowingly transferring, possessing, or using, without lawful authority, a means of identification of another person during and in relation to specified felony violations (including theft of public property, theft by a bank officer or employee, theft from employee benefit plans, various fraud and immigration offenses, and false statements regarding Social Security and Medicare benefits); and (2) five years' imprisonment for knowingly taking such action with respect to a means of identification or a false identification document during and in relation to specified felony violations pertaining to terrorist acts. Prohibits a court from: (1) placing any person convicted of such a violation on probation; (2) reducing any sentence for the related felony to take into account the sentence imposed for such a violation; or (3) providing for concurrent terms of imprisonment for a violation of this Act and a violation under any other Act. (Sec. 3) Expands the existing identify theft prohibition to: (1) cover possession of a means of identification of another with intent to commit specified unlawful activity; (2) increase penalties for violations; and (3) include acts of domestic terrorism within the scope of a prohibition against facilitating an act of international terrorism. (Sec. 4) Modifies provisions regarding embezzlement and theft of public money, property, or records to provide for combining amounts from all the counts for which the defendant is convicted in a single case for purposes of determining which penalties apply. (Sec. 5) Directs the U.S. Sentencing Commission to review and amend its guidelines and policy statements to ensure that the guideline offense levels and enhancements appropriately punish identity theft offenses involving an abuse of position. (Sec. 6) Authorizes appropriations to the Department of Justice for the investigation and prosecution of identity theft and related credit card and other fraud cases constituting felonies. Janice think real hard why tonys bail was revoked! Tony was arrested at a NY Airport Using a Fake ID and his $2.5 million bail was revoked. He now resides in a detention center instead of his $2.2 million dollar home because he used a boarding pass issued to him which bore the name of Manny Velasco, he was also in possession of a fake Montana state ID, with his picture that listed the name Herbert Manny Velasco and he carried an identification card in the name of Heriberto M. Velazco. According to the affidavit, he denied being Tony Elgindy and said that Elgindy was the person who he had gone to see in New York. Your examples and what has happened to tony don't jive. Better luck next time!
