Timothy Abercrombie, a 43-year-old resident of Dover, Oklahoma, has been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for bank fraud. The sentencing was announced by U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.

Court records show that between May 2019 and February 2024, Abercrombie worked as a vice president and loan officer at InterBank in Kingfisher, Oklahoma. During this period, he used the personal information of customers to create fraudulent loan applications. After securing approval for these loans, he deposited the funds into checking accounts he controlled that were opened under the names of those customers without their knowledge or consent. The fraudulent activities led to losses exceeding $800,000 for InterBank.

Abercrombie was charged with bank fraud on April 1, 2025. He pleaded guilty on May 15, 2025, admitting to carrying out a scheme to defraud InterBank.

At his sentencing on March 2, 2026, U.S. District Judge Bernard M. Jones II imposed an 18-month prison term followed by three years of supervised release and ordered Abercrombie to pay $874,893.39 in restitution. Judge Jones stated: “In announcing his sentence, Judge Jones noted the seriousness of the offense, the need to provide just punishment, and the importance of deterring others.”

The case was investigated by the FBI’s Oklahoma City Field Office and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Danielle London.

Further details are available in public court filings.
