Gabriel Aldemar Velez Torres, a resident of Orlando, Florida, has been sentenced to 3 years and 10 months in federal prison. The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Carlos Mendoza following Velez Torres's guilty plea on September 17, 2024, for conspiracy to commit money laundering and structuring.

Court documents reveal that in February 2021, Cristian Rodriguez Labour recruited Velez Torres into a scheme involving the incorporation of a fake business named "Gabes Go Getter, Inc." Between March 9 and March 12 of the same year, Velez Torres opened four bank accounts under this fictitious company's name. Subsequently, conspirators associated with Labour hacked businesses nationwide, directing large sums to these accounts. The fraudulent funds were then transferred primarily to offshore accounts in Weifang, China. A portion was withdrawn by Velez Torres as payment for the laundering activities while avoiding detection through structured withdrawals.

The conspiracy led to $2,183,086.70 being directed through "Gabes Go Getter, Inc," with $741,043.11 successfully laundered to Chinese accounts. Overall, the group managed to launder $3,323,941 internationally and attempted but failed to process an additional $5 million from computer fraud targeting small businesses across the United States and Canada.

Several other individuals involved received varying sentences:

- Cristian Rodriguez Labour pleaded guilty on February 21 and was sentenced on June 21 to seven years.

- Jihad William Morales admitted guilt on May 2 for multiple charges including conspiracy and money laundering; he received a sentence of five years and ten months on August 22.

- Michael Gabriel Robles Vazquez entered his plea on April 9 for conspiracy and money laundering; he was sentenced on August 22 to two years and ten months.

- Aramys Gonzalez Rodriguez pleaded guilty on March 25 for several charges; he received four years and three months imprisonment on September 18.

- Jorge Ivan Ortiz Buil pleaded guilty on April 9; his sentencing occurred on August 22 resulting in five years and three months imprisonment.

The investigation was conducted by IRS Criminal Investigation alongside the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Dana E. Hill.
