Milford Man Convicted For Fraud To Serve More Prison Time: Prosecutors
A man previously convicted in a case that involved fraud of a combined $1.3 million violated the terms of his release, prosecutors said.
MILFORD, CT — A man recently residing in Milford convicted for fraud will serve two more years in prison for violating conditions of supervised release, according to a statement from Marc H. Silverman, acting U.S. attorney for Connecticut.
Marc Anthony Alexander, 44, was sentenced in 2017 to eight years in prison and three years of supervised release. The sentence was related to his involvement in a scheme that included the theft and negotiation of postal money orders that defrauded the U.S. Postal Service of more than $300,000.
He was also involved in a separate scheme that involved the fraudulent sale of financed vehicles, which defrauded lenders of more than $1 million. He was released from federal prison in February 2023.

In November, Alexander was accused of using a bank statement he manipulated with false information to buy a vehicle from a dealership in Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
