Donald Heflin Mitchell, 49, of Orlando, also known as Arissess Maven Anglo-Busari Jr., has been indicted on multiple federal charges including six counts of bank fraud, two counts of making false statements on loan applications, and one count of obstruction of justice. The indictment was announced by U.S. Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe.
If convicted, Mitchell could face up to 30 years in federal prison for each count related to bank fraud and false statements, and up to 10 years for the obstruction charge. The indictment also seeks forfeiture of $74,320 alleged to be proceeds from the bank fraud.
According to court documents, in October 2025 Mitchell applied for credit at two separate car dealerships using different identities and income claims. On one application he claimed employment as an investment banker earning $1.5 million annually and stated he owned a home outright. Four days later, he submitted another application asserting that he had worked as a programmer for ten years with a monthly income of $6,000. Records from the Bureau of Prisons indicate that Mitchell had been released from a previous 15-year sentence for bank fraud on August 18, 2025.
The indictment further alleges that later in October 2025 Mitchell met an individual with diminished mental capacity and exploited this person financially by posing as the son of the victim’s deceased husband. He is accused of obtaining funds from the victim’s accounts, including issuing himself a $52,000 cashier’s check. Additionally, Mitchell allegedly presented a fraudulent power of attorney at the victim’s bank in an attempt to control their accounts.
On November 6, 2025, according to the indictment, Mitchell attempted to obstruct justice by submitting fraudulent documents in federal court claiming familial ties to the deceased husband of the victim.
U.S. Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe stated: "An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty."
The Federal Bureau of Investigation led the investigation along with support from the Orlando Police Department and Orange County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant United States Attorney Laura Cofer Taylor will prosecute the case.
