Judge Sentencing
A Boston gang member is expected to be sentenced in August for conspiring with a former assistant branch manager to steal more than $130,000 from the $1.8 billion Hanscom Federal Credit Union in Hanscom, Mass.
Federal prosecutors identified Glenroy Miller as a member of the Mission Hill gang, which has been involved in drug trafficking, gun-related violence and sophisticated financial fraud.

In December 2019, shortly after Miller began a state prison sentence for firearm felonies and resisting arrest, Nadaje Hendrix opened a bank account and obtained a loan on his behalf. The loan application falsely claimed he lived in Boston and worked as a sanitation worker in Chelsea.
Hendrix, who had known Miller since 2011, signed the application as a loan officer. It purportedly bore Miller's signature and was approved for $3,000.
On June 8, 2021, Hendrix told Miller she would approve another loan in his name if he could arrange for someone to impersonate him at the branch. Days later, an unidentified co-conspirator signed the loan documents and left the branch with a $3,000 check, according to court documents.
Miller also provided Hendrix with personally identifiable information (PII) of fellow inmates, which she used to create more fraudulent loan applications. Other conspirators impersonated the inmates at the branch to finalize documents and collect funds.
The scheme, which continued to August 2021, also involved obtaining loans in the names of individuals whose identities were stolen from other sources.
Miller obtained inmates’ PII by falsely claiming he could help repair their credit. Hendrix retained approximately 10% of each fraudulent loan she approved.
After pleading guilty to one felony count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, Hendrix was sentenced to eight months in prison last October. She was also ordered to serve three years of supervised release and to pay $134,000 in restitution.
Miller pleaded guilty to one felony count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud in May.
What’s more, in separate criminal indictments, Miller also pleaded guilty to trafficking in firearms and stealing mail as part of a large-scale card-cracking scheme that caused up to half a million dollars in losses.
