Did you read about the case elsewhere? From the article it seems like the fraud by false representation charge may have dealt with bonus abuse. It isn't clear at all though

Just this article but it said this was a fraud against the bank, not the book.

My guess is this guy was funding and cashing out the accounts himself rather than having the beards do it and in the process of doing that he made some kind of fraudulent misrepresentation to the bank that he was the beard.
More than once the article refers to his ability to receive multiple bonuses that he should not have received. From my reading it isn't clear but really sounds like he was convicted at least partially for having multiple accounts.
