"Romero-Delgado and eight co-conspirators stole checks from USPS collection boxes, used chemicals to wash away the hand-written ink, and rewrote them as payable to themselves or other bank accounts that they controlled."
"The nine men were known to prosecutors as the 'Mission Hill Gang,' and they were charged in August 2024, as part of multi-year investigations into gang violence in Boston."
"Investigators found that Romero-Delgado had opened accounts with Eastern Bank and TD Bank to deposit the fraudulent checks, and they determined his involvement after reviewing cell phone evidence."
Josman Romero-Delgado, 24, was sentenced to four months in federal prison and three years of supervised release for bank fraud and mail theft. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges in November 2025. Between June 2023 and February 2024, he and eight co-conspirators stole checks from USPS boxes, altered them, and deposited them fraudulently. The group, known as the 'Mission Hill Gang,' was charged in August 2024. Romero-Delgado was ordered to pay $39,157 in restitution and was linked to the scheme through cell phone evidence and social media posts.
