EUGENE, Ore. – A former bank manager who stole the personal information of almost 3,000 customers and tried to fake his own death will serve 30 months in federal prison for identity theft and bank fraud.
Randy Arlan Mainwaring, 41, pleaded guilty May 7, 2012. He was the former manager of the Thurston branch of Key Bank in Springfield.
In pleading guilty, Mainwaring admitted that on Jan. 29, 2007, while serving as the manager of the Thurston Branch of Key Bank, he possessed and used a Social Security Account Number of another actual person, a previous Key Bank account holder, to open up a bank account at Key Bank without that person’s authorization.

He also admitted that on May 10, 2007, he transferred to his personal email account the names, dates of birth, and Social Security Account Numbers of 2,937 present or previous account holders of Key Bank.
Posing as his brother that year, he placed an obituary in the Register-Guard claiming he had committed suicide in London, prosecutors confirmed.
Mainwaring also admitted that in August of 2010 he attempted to obstruct justice by threatening and intimidating a witness to the offense.
Prosecutors said Mainwaring’s sentence was enhanced because the offense involved more than 250 victims, he used personally identifiable information of another person to open up a bank account without authorization, he abused a position of trust, and he obstructed justice by threatening and intimidating a witness.
As a result of Mainwaring’s conduct, Key Bank incurred $44,937.66 in expenses, including credit monitoring services to the affected account holders.
