Mercedes Henry, 35, was indicted after prosecutors alleged she used six Ameris Bank customers’ account numbers and other identifying information at least six times in 2021 to connect their accounts to Coinbase accounts controlled by co-conspirators. The alleged transfers totaled approximately $931,500, later described in an Oct. 1, 2026 report as roughly $932,000, and prosecutors say Henry received slightly more than $1,000. She faces bank fraud, access device fraud, involving the unlawful use of payment credentials, and bribery charges. Henry appeared in federal court Sept. 25 after a grand jury returned the indictment Sept. 22. The case illustrates how crypto exchanges can become the visible destination of funds allegedly misappropriated inside traditional banks, while transaction records and know-your-customer information can help investigators trace the money. The FBI is investigating, and the indictment contains allegations rather than findings of guilt.
