Hui Zhang, 41, pleaded guilty to one count of bank fraud on Friday, March 1, and will be sentenced on May 28, the US Attorney for Massachusetts said.

Prosecutors said Zhang opened multiple bank accounts under fake names from June 2020 through at least May 2022 and deposited 114 counterfeit checks worth more than $1 million into them.

The checks were drawn on the account of a Boston-based retailer. Zhang withdrew hundreds of thousands of dollars from ATMs.
