Fact #6 The lawEnforcement

$1.97 millionrestitution ordered against a 79-year-old money mule who got probation, not prison

A 79-year-old Missouri woman who deposited more than $2 million from 28 lottery scam victims into her own accounts was sentenced to probation, not prison, and ordered to repay $1.97 million.

One bank closed her account after the first deposit, but she kept going at other institutions, supplying debit cards to co-conspirators in Jamaica who withdrew the money. An order for $1.97 million does not mean victims will recover that amount.
