A former United States Postal Service worker has been charged with
stealing checks from the mail — a scheme that netted him nearly $1.7
million over the course of 18 months, according to KTLA sister
station WDCW.

In a news release issued Friday, the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office
said Hachikosela Muchimba, 43, of Washington, D.C., was charged with
mail theft and bank fraud.

Muchimba was accused of depositing checks from the mail into his own
bank account between October 2021 and March 2023.

Michimba had been working at a D.C. branch of the USPS since 2020.
He was placed on off-duty status in March, following the launch of a
federal investigation.

Muchimba’s scheme involved the removal of the payee’s name from the
checks, after which he would instead write his own name. Many of the
checks were U.S. Treasury checks, and the complaint said that
Muchimba was spotted on bank surveillance cameras taking the money
out of ATM machines.

The checks Muchimba deposited between Oct. 2021 and March 2023
totaled $1,697,909.52.

Muchimba faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison for bank
fraud, and 5 years for mail fraud, according to the D.C. District
Attorney’s Office.
