A federal grand jury in San Francisco indicted a man on eight counts of bank robbery on Wednesday, according to the Office of U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag.
Joshua James Metoxen, 25, of American Canyon, is charged with stealing around $18,000 from eight different Northern California banks using verbal demands, notes, and intimidation, U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag said.
Metoxen is currently detained on the eight charges and is scheduled to appear on Sept. 4 for a status conference before a U.S. District Court Judge in Oakland, Haag said.
The maximum penalty for each count of bank robbery is 20 years imprisonment and a fine of $250,000, along with three years of supervised release plus forfeiture and restitution, according to Haag.

I do not understand the level of protection these banks have, if it is so easy to fraud them. Using no special instruments he stoled so much money. It means that the security level of banks is low and the director need to think about its' improvement. Today there are many programs and other digital instruments created to provide high level of protection. Also it is up to people to keep their personal data in safe place with no access of others. Sometimes people choose to use North&Loans Canada to get financial assistance, so they should also be aware of all possible frauds and protect themselves.
