A woman is currently being charged of 52 federal offenses after she illegally got her hands on over $900,000.

Vicky D McDonell, a 61 year old is facing the federal grand jury for allegedly obtaining cash illegally from two companies from Savannah, Mo. She will soon be facing complaints of fraud; 44 of them are wire fraud, 4 are bank frauds, 3 mail fraud and aside from fraud she is facing a count for false statement. McDonell is looking at 75 years imprisonment if she is proven guilty of all the offenses.

She did all the financials for the companies without the supervision of the three owners; they had trusted everything to her completely.
