Authorities in Georgia arrested a teenager suspected of scamming the state government out of tens of millions of dollars days after he was released from a different jail.
Charles Turner, 19, was first arrested last month after he was accused of creating an elaborate scam to defraud people and the state out of more than $25million through the tax system.
Turner was arrested on December 6 at his South Fulton home, where he had set up shop to operate the scheme, the Georgia Department of Revenue said.
He was wanted by Henry County on a fraud allegation, which led to his arrest, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
A few weeks ago, Henry County dropped the charge, and Turner was released from custody.
But state investigators in neighboring DeKalb County re-arrested Turner and filed new charges.
Turner allegedly created a business that was supposed to sell Amazon products for a fee, used it to steal bank information, and used that bank information to overpay on tax prepayments to the state of Georgia.
Then, he would request refunds from the overpayments for the gaming and electronics business to his personal bank account.

'He actually set up a business, set up withholding accounts and sales tax accounts, and was overpaying by more than $25 million onto those accounts, and then requesting refunds for those same amounts to be returned back to him in his personal checking account,' Georgia Department of Revenue investigator Josh Waites told WBS-TV.
Turner allegedly ran the sham business, Riverdale X, out of the home he shares with his mother and brother, apparently unbeknownst to them.
'I mean, didn’t no money come in here,” his brother, Terio Williams, said. 'I mean I didn’t get none.'
But perhaps Williams ignored obvious signs, like the vehicle that was towed away from their house on Thursday, which Turner is believed to have paid for with a bad check.

Turner's alleged operation started to come tumbling down in November, when investigators became aware of a pattern in Turner's daily payments to the state, coupled with reversals due to insufficient funds and fraudulent accounts.
Then, Turner communicated over email with an investigator posing as a state account manager.
Turner told the undercover agent that his accountant would sign for his state return at the Riverdale X business address, because Turner said he was away in the United Kingdom.
But rather than the state account manager that Turner expected, investigators showed up and he was taken into custody.
Leading up to the bust, a warrant was issued for Turner out of Henry County in November for allegedly cashing a fraudulent check for $18,000 at a SunTrust Bank.
He was also charged last January with financial fraud in a separate case in Fulton County, records show.
'Unfortunately, in the past we’ve seen people younger than him, from all walks of life, just not to this extent,' Waites said.
'We did not lose any money in this scheme, which is a testament to the hard work of the people in the department.'
The investigation into Turner's actions will take a look at the number of potential victims of his so-called 'business,' and alleged attempts to gain access to state funds, Waites said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
