An 86-year-old Maine man has been convicted of stealing his brother’s identity in an act of fraud that spanned the better part of 60 years. Napoleon Gonzalez, of Etna, Maine, was convicted of mail fraud, Social Security fraud, passport fraud and identity theft by a U.S. District Court jury in Bangor, Maine on August 18, according to court records. He then used this assumed identity, along with his own, to receive double Social Security benefits, according to the U.S. District Attorney's Office for the District of Maine. Gonzalez was initially the subject of another Social Security Administration investigation in 2010, before this technology was available. Gonzalez, who is due back in court for sentencing on a yet unknown date, faces up to 20 years in prison.
