  1. For Her !

    4 months for $300K

    And she gets three meals a day during her stay.

    Why isn’t she responsible to give all the profits back ?? Only $23K fine. Wow !
    Almost seems worth it

  2. Sounds like basically she profited close to $300,000 after fines and restitution. Being a felon is pretty though only 4 months incarceration, seemed to be a very profitable venture for this criminal. $75,000 per month sitting in a Fed prison.

    1. Two readers writing virtually the same comment 2 minutes apart.

      Like minded people here.
