A Georgia resident, Chase Duncan Campbell, has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The plea was entered before Judge Barry W. Ashe on August 14, 2025.
According to information from the court, Campbell and others engaged in a scheme that began as early as November 2020 and continued through at least May 2024. The group defrauded a former political candidate by offering fake campaign services. They also defrauded one victim of approximately $236,867 through fraudulent real estate transactions and related costs, another victim of about $83,268 by making false claims regarding real estate and title work, and two additional victims out of roughly $112,328 through a fake legal defense scheme.
To carry out these activities, Campbell and his co-conspirators used fake aliases and occupations, temporary phone numbers for communication, and fraudulent invoices.
Campbell could face up to five years in prison, three years of supervised release, a fine reaching $250,000, and a mandatory special assessment fee of $100. He has agreed to pay restitution totaling about $446,302 to those affected.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is leading the investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Andre J. Lagarde from the Public Integrity Unit is prosecuting the case.
