Ameer Nasir, 25, from Trumbull, has pleaded guilty in federal court to wire fraud for defrauding Amazon.com, Inc. of more than $3.5 million. The plea was entered before U.S. District Judge Kari A. Dooley in Bridgeport.
Court records show that Nasir registered 23 trucking businesses with Amazon Logistics, a subsidiary responsible for transporting freight between cities and warehouses. One account was under his business Pak Express Transport, LLC; others were created using false names or by unlawfully using the identities of legitimate trucking companies without their operators’ knowledge.
Between December 2019 and February 2021, Nasir used these accounts to accept over 1,000 transportation assignments with Amazon Logistics. He manipulated information in the company’s transportation management system to falsely indicate completion of trailer movements and submitted fraudulent invoices that were paid by Amazon. This scheme resulted in losses exceeding $3.5 million for the company.
Nasir was arrested on May 8, 2025. He faces up to 20 years in prison for wire fraud and has agreed to pay restitution totaling $3,547,090.93.
He is currently released on a $300,000 bond pending sentencing scheduled for May 29.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation with assistance from Amazon. Assistant U.S. Attorney Elena L. Coronado is prosecuting the case.
