Example Sentences

In early February of 2020, Erik Charles Maund, 46, of Austin, emailed a woman with whom he had a prior relationship and made plans to meet her while visiting Nashville to see a relative, the Justice Department said.

The indictment alleges that the conspiracy began on March 5, 2020, when Maund withdrew $15,000 from his bank account and an "intelligence report" was prepared and given to Peled "by a relative of Brockway who worked for an internet-based security company."

Maund, described as a partner in Maund Automotive Group in Austin, allegedly hired three men, whom authorities identified as Gilad Peled, Bryon Brockway and Adam Carey, to help deal with the extortion demands from Lanway.

The indictment alleges that on March 12, 2020, Maund wire-transferred $150,000 from his bank account to an account controlled by Peled.

Sometime after March 11, 2020, Maund wire-transferred more than $750,000 from his bank account to Peled’s as payment to Peled, Brockway and Carey for the murder-for-hire kidnapping plot, prosecutors said.
