To be clear, I'm not sure about everything going on here — specifically, exactly went on with this bank account subpoena.

Regardless of ~exactly~ what went on w/ the subpoena, tho, the ~charge~ requires "intent to fraudulently use" identifying information.

That's the only way that I see the identity fraud charges as being supportable. (I see no way to support the false statement charge.)
