She just wanted her reparations.
A 96-year-old great-grandmother was defrauded by her own great-
granddaughter in Missouri, authorities said.
Now, the 35-year-old great-granddaughter has pleaded guilty to a felony
count of bank fraud, according to a June 28 news release from the U.S. Attorney�s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri.
In her signed plea agreement, the St. Louis woman said she obtained her great-grandma�s credit union account number and �personal identifying information� sometime before Dec. 2, 2022.
She then added her cellphone number and email address to her great- grandmother�s account, authorities said, and she got online access. The
account had a balance over $22,700 at the time.
�On Dec. 2, 2022, she transferred $2,000 to someone else,� authorities
said. �The next day, she opened an account for herself at the credit union
and began transferring her great-grandmother�s money to her account.�
From Dec. 2 through Jan. 19, she withdrew $26,700, according to the plea agreement. But on Jan. 6, authorities said she re-deposited $7,500,
leaving a loss of $19,200.
The woman�s defense attorney did not comment to McClatchy News regarding
the plea agreement or allegations.
Prosecutors and the defense have agreed to recommend a three-year prison sentence in addition to restitution, according to the release.
