On December 17, 2004, Angel Ricardo Mendoza was working as a driver for a trucking company in Miami, Florida, when he picked up $180,000 worth of nickels from the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) of East Rutherford, New Jersey. The nickels were to be delivered to the FRB of New Orleans, Louisiana, on December 20, 2004, but never arrived there. Mendoza's company last heard from him on the morning of December 20, 2004, when he reported to be in Tallahassee, Florida. Then, on December 21, 2004, Mendoza's tractor and trailer were located empty in Fort Pierce, Florida. Since that time, most of the money has been located, however, Mendoza's whereabouts remain unknown.

On February 18, 2005, Mendoza was indicted by a Grand Jury for the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida, on conspiracy, embezzlement and theft related charges, and a federal warrant was issued for his arrest.
