A 37-year-old former federal credit union employee admitted in U.S. District Court Tuesday that he stole tens of thousands of dollars from member accounts, forging member signatures to do so.

Bradley J. Hampton, a former financial services officer at Hawaii USA Federal Credit Union, faces up to 30 years in prison when he is sentenced in October. In exchange for his guilty plea to a single count of bank fraud, the government promised to drop five other bank fraud counts and one of aggravated identity theft.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth Sorenson told U.S. District Judge Derrick K. Watson that between February 2017 and June 2018, Hampton withdrew $9,050 from one account, $8,220 from another and $59,621 from a third account. Sorenson said in addition to forging signatures, Hampton made false entries in Hawaii USA FCU records to make it appear that the withdrawals were authorized by the account holder.

According to the indictment against him, Hampton used all of the money he stole to purchase cashier’s checks made payable to his landlord.

At the time he stole the money, Hampton’s address was a 25th-floor apartment on South Street.
