    The most depressing thing about this entire ordeal is that the woman stole lots of money, got busted because that money belonged to rich people, and is now after having been convicted and literally been to prison as far as i know, able to cash in on that further. Lets make a movie about that wonderful successful scammer.

      I think there’s a law in the states that criminals can’t profit from the story of their crime. If I remember correctly, the money that would have gone to the criminal goes to restitution for the victims.
