A former Nantucket Bank employee has agreed to plead guilty for her role in two fraud conspiracies.

Rushell Harris, 32, of Nantucket, was charged yesterday in federal court and has agreed to plead guilty to two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, the U.S. attorney’s office said in a statement.

Harris worked as a bank teller at Nantucket Bank from May 2016 to October 2017, according to court documents. Nantucket Bank at the time was part of Blue Hills Bank and became a division of Rockland Trust Co. when it acquired Blue Hills Bank in 2019.

Prosecutors allege that Harris was involved with two separate wire fraud conspiracies between approximately June 2014 and November 2018.

In the first conspiracy involving Nantucket Bank, Harris allegedly used her position at the bank to obtain personal identifiable information of a customer and take photographs of the victim’s account information, according to the U.S. attorney’s statement. Prosecutors allege that Harris shared that information with co-conspirators, who attempted to make multiple transfers out of the customer’s bank account without authorization, according to the statement.

In the second conspiracy, Harris allegedly took part in a fraudulent lottery scheme targeting at least 13 victims. According to the charging documents, victims were contacted by co-conspirators by phone and told that they had won large prizes. They were also told that they needed to pre-pay taxes on their winnings to receive the funds, according to the statement.

After the victims made an initial payment, they were advised that additional advance payments were required for expenses such as insurance, transportation or other international customs’ fees, according to the statement. Some of the funds were transferred to accounts at Bank of America and Cape Cod Five, according to court documents. Harris and her co-conspirators then allegedly transferred proceeds of the scheme to associates in Jamaica and in the United States.

A plea hearing has not yet been scheduled by the court, according to the U.S. attorney’s office.
