Nevada woman given 7 plus years for fraud in West Virginia court
CLARKSBURG, West Virginia (KOLO) – A Nevada lady has been sentenced to greater than seven years in jail by a West Virginia decide for monetary fraud in opposition to the aged.
Las Vegas native Shelly Leipham was discovered responsible by a jury in April of wire fraud, mail fraud, and cash laundering. The courtroom discovered Leipham referred to as an aged sufferer in West Virginia and claimed she had received $1 million.
She then defrauded the sufferer of almost $25,000 by directing the sufferer to ship that quantity to her over a two-year interval by way of mail and wire.
“Leipham badgered and manipulated her aged victims by calling them time and again, disregarded the hardships they have been experiencing whereas she was exploiting them, repeatedly lied to them, and accepted no duty for her conduct,” stated U.S. Lawyer Ihlenfeld. “The prolonged jail time period imposed at present was mandatory in an effort to tackle her callous conduct.”
