YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - A Trumbull County man faces a federal money laundering charge five years after he was convicted for an online steroid selling scheme.

Twenty-seven-year old Joseph Stiver of Bazetta Township and Justin Robbins of Detroit are both named in a bill of information filed in U.S. District Court.

The new federal charges stem from an investigation in Trumbull County that led to Stiver's 2014 conviction on multiple counts of drug trafficking, identity fraud, tampering with evidence, and drug possession.

Investigators say Stiver took in nearly $400,000 by selling steroids to customers that included members of the Global Fitness gym in Howland.  

Stivers was sentenced to a year in prison for that conviction.

According to the latest court filing, during the three-year period that he operated his illegal steroid business, Stiver also stole identities from three members of Global Fitness to create bank accounts through which he allegedly concealed payments for the steroid sales. Prosecutors have not revealed the names of the gym members.

Authorities say Stiver's customers would pay for the steroids via wire transfers such as Western Union and MoneyGram, or though stored value cards such as MoneyPak and Greendot.

The bill of information says the money for the transactions was collected with the help of Justin Robbins.

Charges filed as a bill of information give defendants an opportunity to enter a guilty plea by waiving the usual grand jury indictment process.

The bill of information for both Stiver and Robbins indicate that a conviction could result in a sentence of more than one year in prison.

Arraignments and guilty plea hearings have been scheduled before a federal judge.
