How a Georgia teen allegedly took $28M from the feds in fraud, bank scam

His alleged crimes finally came to an end Dec. 6.

A 18-year-old faces serious charges after authorities say he ran a scam that led him to amass $28 million.

His alleged crimes finally came to an end Dec. 6 when South Fulton Police and the Georgia Department of Revenue executed a search warrant on the teen's Grey Fox Way home.

According to officials, Charles Turner made several high-dollar fraudulent transactions, both online and through several South Fulton banks, ranging from $14,000 to $28 million.

Authorities said Turner got the money by overpaying with his holding account for his business - Riverdale X Electronics - and trying to get a refund from the Georgia Department of Revenue.

Over the course of his alleged crimes, authorities said Turner was able to obtain several vehicles in addition to the large sum of money in the U.S. Treasury.

Turner had been wanted on a warrant by the Henry County Sheriff’s Office for alleged forgery. Authorities arrested him on the new charges and took him to the Fulton County Jail.

Investigators are still gathering more information on the case.
