U.S. Supreme Court Proceedings
the U.S. Supreme Court held that in prosecuting a defendant under the aggravated identity theft offense, the government must prove that the defendant knew that the “means of identification” (e.g., name, Social Security number, or credit card number) that the defendant unlawfully transferred, possessed, or used, in fact belonged to “another [real] person.”
