Key Point Summary – US Postal Worker Stole Mail

• Mary Ann Magdamit, 31, stole mail from Torrance Main Post Office
• Took checks, cards, and personal info from 2022 to July 2025
• Used stolen funds for Rolex watches and tropical vacations
• Seized with 133 stolen cards, 16 Treasury checks, and a ghost gun
• Faces up to 30 years in federal prison for bank fraud

From Mail Route To Criminal Scheme

A California postal worker’s glamorous social media posts have turned into a federal criminal case. Mary Ann Magdamit, 31, admitted to stealing checks, credit cards, debit cards, and personal identifying information while working at the Torrance Main Post Office. Prosecutors say her scheme ran from 2022 until her arrest in July 2025.

Magdamit allegedly activated stolen cards online to bankroll her spending sprees. She also sold some cards to co-conspirators, who helped cash checks and forge identity documents matching the payees. Federal prosecutors say the operation was calculated and lucrative.

Flaunting The Spoils Online

On Instagram, Magdamit showed off stacks of hundred-dollar bills, Rolex watches, and sun-soaked getaways. In one picture, she held a wad of cash to her ear like a phone. Another showed her reclining poolside with champagne during a luxury trip. She is accused of using stolen cards to fund international vacations to Turks and Caicos and Aruba.

Authorities raided her apartment in December 2024, finding 133 stolen cards, 16 U.S. Treasury checks, and an unserialized “ghost gun” with an extended magazine.

Arrested But Unstopped

Despite the December raid, investigators say Magdamit kept using stolen cards. When federal agents arrested her on July 1, they found more stolen credit cards in her home. She now faces one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison.

So far, prosecutors have not confirmed whether her alleged accomplices will face charges.

Another Postal Scandal Surfaces

Magdamit’s case follows another high-profile USPS scandal. In March, former postal worker Hachikosela Muchimba from Washington, D.C., was convicted of stealing $1.6 million in checks. He funded a lifestyle of luxury travel, hotels, and even gentlemen’s clubs before attempting to flee to Zambia. He faces similar decades-long prison terms for bank fraud and mail theft.

A Fall From Flash To Federal Court

For Magdamit, the flashy photos and tropical escapes have given way to mugshots and federal charges. If convicted, her lavishly documented lifestyle could serve as evidence of just how far she was willing to go to turn stolen mail into luxury living.
