Greece man going to prison for illegally selling hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stolen goods

ROCHESTER, N.Y. - U.S. Attorney Trini E. Ross announced today that Tony Orlando Camacho a/k/a Anthony Camacho, 48, of Greece, NY, who was convicted of transportation of goods in stolen commerce, was sentenced to serve 15 months in prison by Chief U.S. District Judge Elizabeth A. Wolford.  

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Nicholas M. Testani and Meghan K. McGuire, who handled the case, stated that between January 2021, and July 25, 2022, Camacho purchased stolen goods and merchandise from persons that he knew were engaged in unlawful shoplifting (commonly referred to as “boosters”) from Rochester area retail stores. Once the goods were stolen, boosters would sell the stolen, new in­ box goods to Camacho for a fraction of the true retail value. After purchasing the stolen goods, Camacho would then list the stolen goods for sale on eBay using the account, Ton.Camac. The goods were advertised as “New” or “New-In-Box” and priced below retail value, although the price was well in excess of the money paid to the boosters. Camacho sold and shipped, or caused to be shipped, between $249,246.33 and $469,246.42 worth of stolen goods.

The sentencing is the result of an investigation by Homeland Security Investigations, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Matthew Scarpino, and the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, under the direction of Sheriff Todd Baxter.
