A Carson woman, who is a former U.S. Postal Service employee, is facing decades in prison after pleading guilty to bank fraud.
Mary Ann Magdamit, 31, who worked as a letter carrier at the Torrance Main Post Office, stole checks, debit and credit cards from the mail from at least 2022 through July 2025, according to a press release from the United States Department of Justice.
Magdamit pleaded guilty Monday to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud. She's been in federal custody since July 1.
Federal prosecutors allege she would activate the stolen bank-issued cards online and use them to make purchases, and even sold some to her co-conspirators.
Magdamit is also accused of flaunting her loot on social media, even taking a photo with a thick stack of cash, before using it to pay for international trips and luxury goods.
After a search of her home in December of last year, authorities seized 133 stolen credit and debit cards, 16 U.S. Department of Treasury checks and a loaded "ghost gun."
Magdamit faces up to 30 years in federal prison.

Damn it Magdamit! Stop stealin mail!
“Hello, Newman!”
“2022 through July 2025
Been going on 3 to 4 years. Yeah that’s the postal inspectors for ya.....always Johnny in the spot. SMH
What an idiot. A postal employee ought to be the first to know the penalties for messing with someone else’s mail.
ONE count?
Why not 133 counts?

Good thing most criminals are dumb as wood.
Time to set an example...again.
Wood is useful. People like her are just a menace.
These are supposedly the people we should trust with mail-in ballots.
I live in Torrance and I’m sure she got our checks a few times. Throw the book at her! 10 years is not enough!
If she was smart, she would have stayed off the internet and sent that money back to the Philippines to build a house. She could have been there living the high life by now.
If she was smart she wouldn’t be a thief.
*IF* she was smart.
We had capital punishment for this. Now it is a jail sentence that is NEVER fully served.
When I’m issued a new card sue to expiration, I have to go through hoops to activate it.
First, they send me a code via text to the number they have on file. Then I have to confirm my email address they have.
Something is fishy.
