A serial mail thief’s alleged robbery spree ended after he posted photos of stolen credit cards and bins of mail to his Instagram Stories on the same day he robbed a carrier at knifepoint. Jordan McCorvey, a 32-year-old man in Ohio, allegedly robbed a USPS letter carrier’s truck while they were on their delivery route on November 28. The carrier told investigators two men approached their truck with a knife and demanded access to the truck, according to the affidavit, and when the carrier unlocked the truck and gave them access, they took a tray of mail. The description of one of the suspects matched a man who investigators already knew as “a known mail thief with criminal history related to possession of stolen mail and bank fraud,” the complaint says. The same day as the theft, McCorvey’s Instagram accounts—with the usernames "2corkmoney," "Icorkmoneybaby," and "cork2saucy”—posted photos of him flipping through stacks of mail still in the USPS tray, showing the same zip code on the letters as the carrier’s stolen deliveries. For the next few days, more evidence appeared on McCorvey’s Instagram Stories, where he uploaded photos and videos “involving banking transactions and other various posts connected to financial institutions,” according to the complaint. “These posts included solicitations for individuals with bank accounts or other related financial information.” In one photo, a man—it’s not clear from the complaint whether it’s McCorvey— celebrates in front of a Wells Fargo ATM, holding a card in the air, with a Wells Fargo branch tagged as a location sticker on the photo. This isn’t the first time an alleged criminal outed himself by bragging on social media and in public. Idriss Qibaa, the man who ran an extortion scheme called Unlocked4Life.com that promised to unlock clients’ social media accounts, admitted on the popular No Jumper podcast that he was the one locking people’s accounts to extort them out of thousands of dollars, which helped the FBI charge him. McCorvey was arrested on January 9 in Columbus. Mail theft is a federal crime and McCorvey could face fines and up to five years in prison.

Огайо, 32-летний мужчина, Дордн МакКорви, был арестован за кражу почты, в том числе за кражу почтового сотрудника USPS, а также за публикацию в Instagram фотографий украденных кредитных карт и почтовых ящиков. МакКорви также использовал свою учетную запись Instagram для публикации информации о банковских транзакциях и финансовых учреждениях. Дело похоже на другие случаи, когда люди признаются в преступлениях через социальные сети.
