David Quinones, 44, of Chicago, pleaded guilty Tuesday on a federal wire fraud charge.
Quinones admitted that from 2018 to 2023, he gave cash or other items to SNAP recipients in exchange for access to their Link cards and associated identification numbers.
Quinones used the cards to purchase various goods at retail stores — fraudulently representing himself as the authorized user of the cards. He then resold most of the goods and kept the proceeds for himself.
Quinones admitted that he used more than 1,200 cards and fraudulently caused the USDA to pay out approximately $1,554,804 in SNAP benefits.
He faces up to 20 years in federal prison and his sentencing date is scheduled for June 18.
