Text: On November 1, 1997, Dwight Gilchristclaiming to be Michael Colston got a job with Wells Fargo in its Overdraft Collections Unit. During March 1998, he accessed Wells Fargo's computer system and added his real name, Dwight Gilchrist, as an authorized account holder on more than a dozen accounts, including accounts not charged in the Indictment. Gilchrist then withdrew cash from these accounts, in amounts ranging from $750 to $2,000. When Wells Fargo discovered what had happened, a Wells Fargo fraud investigator went to speak to him about the addition of the name Dwight Gilchrist to the compromised accounts. As soon as the Wells Fargo fraud investigator mentioned his real name, Gilchrist suddenly got up and left the building, never to return. The total amount of actual loss resulting from Gilchrist's embezzlement scheme was $13,100.
