Florin Muresan, 27, faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. A federal grand jury here indicted him earlier this year of obtaining more than $1,000 from selling the numbers, but court records only recently were unsealed.
Muresan remains in jail pending trial, which under federal law should come within 70 days of his initial appearance in the local federal court on Monday.
Court documents show Muresan electronically sent credit card data to a Secret Service agent in Middle Tennessee earlier this year after agreeing to provide information related to more than 1,000 accounts in exchange for $1,100.
A preliminary review of the data by MasterCard and Visa found the transmission included data for at least 20 credit card accounts which were not issued to Muresan and he wasn't authorized to use. He was arrested in London in June and was transferred to Nashville last weekend.
