Under Florida law, identity theft becomes "aggravated" based on the number of victims or the financial amount involved. If the fraud involves $5,000 or more, or 10 or more victims, it carries a 3-year mandatory minimum prison sentence. Higher thresholds, such as 20 victims or $50,000 in benefit, increase mandatory minimums to 5 or 10 years. These cases are strictly prosecuted in the Broward County court system.
