Today, Timothy Abercrombie, a 42-year-old resident of Dover, Oklahoma, entered a guilty plea to charges of bank fraud. The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.
Abercrombie faced charges filed on April 1, 2025, alleging that from May 2019 through February 2024, while working as a vice president and loan officer at InterBank in Kingfisher, Oklahoma, he engaged in fraudulent activities. The Information stated that Abercrombie misused personal information from bank customers to create unauthorized loan applications. Once these loans were approved, the funds were deposited into checking accounts opened using the customers' details without their consent or knowledge. This scheme resulted in InterBank being defrauded of approximately $883,075.66.
By pleading guilty to the Information today, Abercrombie admitted to executing this fraudulent scheme against InterBank. He now faces a potential sentence of up to 30 years in federal prison and could be fined up to $1 million.
The case was investigated by the FBI's Oklahoma City Field Office and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles Brown.
