A young Alabama musician known as “88 DayDay” is one of two people indicted for their roles in a cyber-enabled check fraud scheme.

A federal grand jury indicted 22-year-old Daylin R. Banks, also known as “88 DayDay” and “30Skiii Only 1,” with conspiracy, wire fraud, bank fraud, possession of 15 or more unauthorized access devices and aggravated identity theft.

A second person, described as Banks’ co-conspirator, is also charged – 19-year-old Gabriel Samuel Odiot, aka “Motion” of Kissimmee.

According to the indictment, Banks from August 2022 until July 2023 particpated in a scheme to sell stolen or otherwise fraudulent checks on a Telegram channel called “Glass House Records.”

Banks obtained checks that had been stolen from the custody of the U.S. Postal Service and marketed a portion of them for sale on the “Glass House Records” Telegram channel.

At the same time, Banks collaborated with Odiot and others to alter, duplicate, or forge other stolen checks and have them deposited into accounts controlled by the conspiracy, authorities said..

The charges against Banks and Odiot relate to an indictment filed in August against Mekhi Diwone Harris, an administrator of an Alabama-based scam Telegram channel called “Work Related.”

According to court documents, thousands of stolen or fraudulent checks totaling more than $15 million were posted to the “Work Related” channel.

If convicted, Banks and Odiot face a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison for two of the charges, up to 20 years on another charge and up to 15 years in yet another charge.

The U.S. Secret Service Cyber Fraud Task Force, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the case, which is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward J. Canter.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Alabama, the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General, the Heflin Police Department, and the Hueytown Police Department all assisted in the investigation.
