Keep Bailing

Sacramento, CA – According to News10, Michael Moynihan, 24, of the Bay Area has been arrested after an investigation of a nationwide bail scam. He is currently being held at the Sacramento County Jail on a no-hold parole hold, awaiting charges to be filed by the United States Attorney’s Office in California.

The authorities have stated that Moynihan falsely posed as an officer in order to gain information about inmates that were recently released from jail. He would then approach his victims, claiming to be a bondsman, and tell them that their bail would be going up and if they failed to pay him they would be re-arrested.

Moynihan denies the allegations, stating that they are a lie and, “not accurate at all.”

Detective Jim Hudson of the Placer County Sheriff’s Office has more than one recorded phone conversation between law enforcement and Moynihan who falsely identified himself as “Officer Johnson.”

Besides the fact that he’s been operating as a bondsman without a license, this “bogus bail bondsman” is allegedly a criminal himself; having previously been charged with numerous felonies which include, altering or falsifying government documents.  (A bail bondsman in California must be licensed by the California Department of Insurance. Additionally, convicted felons are not eligible to be bail bondsmen.)

Malone perpetrated this right in the jail, directly under the watch of Read more »
