Green Bay Packers Fraud: Brett Favre’s Identity Theft

William Joachim of West Phoenix had been arrested on suspicion of using Brett Favre’s credit card over 40 times. He was arrest on four felony charges related to identity theft. Two other men were also arrested in the case, and have been booked on forgery charges.

The 40 unauthorized charges happened in Maricopa County, and totaled more than $10,000. It is believed that Favre’s card was part of larger compromise of personal information, which has lead to the theft of dozens of identities. The investigation began after the National Football League notified the Attorney General’s office that Favre’s credit card had been used in Maricopa County without authorization.
