SEATTLE - Federal prosecutors say a Renton man was behind a fraud ring that sold iPods and computers bought with credit cards stolen from gym locker rooms in Washington state and Oregon.

Gabriel Jang was to make his initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Seattle on Thursday. Investigators allege he has taken in more than $3 million since 2004 by making sales on the Internet auction site eBay.

According to a federal complaint, Jang had associates who would steal credit cards from gym locker rooms in the Puget Sound region and in Beaverton and Tualatin, Ore. It alleges they would use the cards to buy items at retail stores, then turn them over to Jang.

Charged along with Jang is one of his alleged associates, Billy Britt.
