  • Hazell was sentenced to three years in federal prison

Ishod Hazell, 26, pleaded guilty to charges on July 16.

Between June 18, 2018, and February 27, 2019, authorities say Hazell used 91 different stolen credit card numbers to purchase $291,000-worth of Universal theme park tickets and vacation packages.

Hazell would call the Universal call center to make the purchases, claiming to be the credit card holder. Hazell and "his associates" would then pick up the tickets at Universal's self-service kiosks and sell them to tourists online.

The court also ordered Hazell to pay $153,598.99 in restitution.
