Two Venezuelan nationals, Ender Enrique Munoz Perez, 30, and Angel Raphael Medina-Taguaripano, 24, have been indicted by a federal Grand Jury in Oklahoma City on charges related to an alleged ATM “jackpotting” scheme. The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.
Court records state that between January 19 and January 20, 2026, Perez and Medina-Taguaripano, along with other unnamed coconspirators, visited several Arvest Bank ATM locations in Chickasha, Moore, and Norman, Oklahoma. The indictment alleges that the group accessed the ATMs’ computer systems and installed malware. This software reportedly allowed them to control the machines remotely and instruct them to dispense cash. Authorities allege that approximately $235,500 was stolen from various ATMs during this period.
On March 3, 2026, the Grand Jury returned a three-count indictment against both men. They are charged with conspiracy to commit bank theft and two counts of bank theft. If convicted, each defendant could face up to five years in federal prison for conspiracy and up to ten years for each count of bank theft. Additionally, they may be subject to fines of up to $250,000 per count.
U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester emphasized: “The public is reminded that these charges are merely allegations, and that the defendants are innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.”
The FBI Oklahoma City Field Office led the investigation into this case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Danielle London is prosecuting.
This prosecution falls under Operation Take Back America—a national Department of Justice initiative aimed at combating illegal immigration and dismantling transnational criminal organizations.
