A Connecticut bank customer has lost $89,000 after someone allegedly completed an unauthorized in-person wire transfer from his account.

Westport police charged a 38-year-old Brooklyn, New York man in the case, reports Patch.

John Hammonds, 38, was arrested Monday on first-degree larceny and third-degree identity theft charges and remains in custody in lieu of $70,000 bail.

Police say the victim’s bank alerted him that someone made an unauthorized in-person wire transfer of $89,000 from one of his accounts to an unaffiliated account in January of 2025.

Investigators identified Hammonds as a suspect after Westport police said he conducted the transaction at an M&T Bank branch in New York while representing himself as the victim.

Westport police obtained an arrest warrant, and on August 20th the department was notified that New Jersey authorities held Hammonds and planned to extradite him to Connecticut on unrelated charges.

After extradition, Westport detectives charged him and he was arraigned in Stamford Superior Court, with his next court date set for November 9th.

Customers at a lender in Wyoming are still seeing surprise pending charges and balances that do not match a week after accounts came back from a cyberattack.

Hilltop Bank restored personal systems after an outage tied to the incident, but delayed transactions from that stretch are still posting, reports Cowboy State Daily.

Alyssa Schwindt of Casper said $519 in pending charges to her cellphone provider, AutoZone and Walmart showed up even though she had already paid those bills.

She tried to withdraw $1,500 for rent and was told only about $1,100 was available because of those floating transactions.

Annastacia Potter of Glenrock said a backlog of charges hit after the systems returned, leaving her husband unable to pay for a meal on the road, and that the bank canceled payments to wedding vendors.

Hilltop spokesman Bill Salvin said the charges were delayed in posting but should not have been a surprise.

“The charges were delayed in posting to accounts. However, they should not have been unanticipated.”

Salvin said customers who kept accurate records have not been affected, and the bank has no evidence customer data was compromised after the systems were restored.

The outage began on September 8th of 2026. Personal mobile banking returned on September 21st. Full personal systems came back on September 22nd.

The bank says it will work with overdrawn customers and reimburse late fees.

Its last update, on September 24th, said no further updates were expected now that systems are up.
