Mystery Man Stole Financial Information From Law Firm, Used It To Pay For Stuff: Complaint

JOLIET, IL — A mystery man stole a Joliet law firm’s financial information and used it to pay for stuff, according to a civil complaint filed in Will County court.

The law firm Chuck Bretz & Associates was allegedly victimized by a culprit identified in the civil suit only as “John Doe.”

Doe, who lives in Atlanta, “obtained financial information … utilizing deceptive, fraudulent and unauthorized practices,” the lawsuit said.

Then, sometime in the first weeks of December, Doe “utilized the information, fraudulently and wrongfully obtained from the (law firm), to pay for various goods and services,” the lawsuit said.

The suit seeks to have Doe — whoever he is — cough up at least $50,000 for the alleged theft.
