This year’s recently-concluded International Fraud Awareness Week is
an annual, global effort to minimize the impact of fraud through awareness and education. The Atlantic County
Prosecutor’s Office – including the Financial Crimes Unit – continues its efforts to raise
awareness on fraud and scams affecting individuals across our county.
Last month, defendant Wei Song of Egg Harbor Township was convicted following an ACPO
investigation for money laundering, theft by deception, and insurance fraud that resulted in
financial losses of over $600,000 from one victim and millions of dollars of additional damages
from their fraudulent crimes. Song was sentenced to fifteen years in New Jersey State Prison.
