Fraudster Biography: How Old Is Daniel Rigmaiden?
As per some websites, Daniel Rigmaiden is currently 41 years old.
The former con artist was born and brought up in Seaside, California, the United States. But not much of his early life has been explored with the details like his date of birth and other important stuff missing from the internet. Furthermore, he is yet to have his own Wikipedia page, thus making the findings even tougher.
However, according to his bio page on Worthy Celebs, Daniel Rigmaiden was born on September 8, 1980. As a US-born, Daniel holds an American nationality and is of a white ethnic race.
The page also made a tall claim that Daniel is an atheist. Besides, according to his birth, his star sign would be Virgo. The 5 feet 9 inches tall man graduated from a local college in his hometown.
His parents were David Rigmaiden, an engineer at Naval Postgraduate School, and Mary Jane Rigmaiden. Furthermore, Daniel has a brother Sean Rigmaiden.
Daniel Rigmaiden began using many fake identities after graduation in 1999, going from townlet to townlet on the coast of California, trading bogus IDs. Over the next several years, he began filing taxation returns for the deceased, pocketing hundreds of thousands of dollars.

However, he was caught in May 2008 and charged with multiple felonies of tax fraud and identity theft. The FBI team caught him through Stringray, a cell-site simulator, and his Verizon AirCard.
In April 2014, Daniel eventually pled guilty and was sentenced to life imprisonment. But a plea agreement permitted him to walk freely. Daniel was also sentenced to three years on probation, 100 hours of community service, and the forfeiture of almost $470,000 in looted funds.
