A 34-year-old Romanian man, Cristian Aron Broinas, has been sentenced to 2 years in prison after pleading guilty to stealing debit card information. An investigation found him at the center of a skimming operation. The probe began in December 2025 when authorities discovered he was using skimming devices to record card information.

Items seized during the investigation include skimming devices, re-encoded payment cards, and counterfeit card-making equipment. Further details about the case are available from the source.

The Texas Financial Crimes Intelligence Center conducted the investigation, which led to Broinas' guilty plea and sentencing.
