Trumbull Man Sentenced to Federal Prison for Defrauding Amazon of More Than $3.5 Million

David X. Sullivan, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that AMEER NASIR, 25, of Trumbull, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Kari A. Dooley in Bridgeport to 24 months of imprisonment and three years of supervised release for defrauding Amazon.com, Inc. ("Amazon") of more than $3.5 million.

According to court documents and statements made in court, Amazon Logistics, an Amazon subsidiary, contracts with various interstate trucking businesses to transport both empty trailers and trailers containing heavy loads of freight between cities and between warehouses and fulfillment centers operated by Amazon. Nasir registered 23 trucking businesses with Amazon Logistics. One of the accounts was created in the name of Nasir's business, Pak Express Transport, LLC, and others were created under false names or by fraudulently using the names and identifying information of other trucking or transportation companies without the knowledge of the operators of those companies. Between approximately December 2019 and February 2021, Nasir used these accounts to sign up for more than 1,000 transportation assignments with Amazon Logistics, manipulated information in Amazon Logistics' transportation management system to misrepresent that he had completed trailer movements when he had not, and submitted fraudulent invoices to Amazon Logistics that were subsequently paid. Through this scheme, Nasir defrauded Amazon of more than $3.5 million.

Nasir was arrested on May 8, 2025. On March 6, 2026, he pleaded guilty to wire fraud.

Judge Dooley ordered Nasir to pay restitution of $3,547,090.93.

Nasir, who is released on a $300,000 bond, is required to report to prison on November 12.

This matter was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation with assistance from Amazon. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Elena L. Coronado.
