No Jail Expected for Chase Fraud Broad

Ah, remember the Chase bank "fraud broad," who was busted back in July for siphoning over $100K from a millionaire's private account, then blowing it on shopping, partying, and rent? We kind of did forget, then the photo brought us right back. Yesterday, 26-year-old Robin Katz pleaded guilty to grand larceny committed during her time as a financial adviser at JPMorgan Chase. So will they throw the book at the buxom embezzler?

Please. What sort of cold-hearted judge could send such an alluring young lady to prison, in the full blossom of her youth? She's expected to be sentenced to five years' probation, with an order to repay the money. Katz's lawyer tells the AP her client is "looking forward to putting this behind her."

Investigators say Katz created an ATM card and dipped into the customer's account to support her hard-partying lifestyle for a full year. Her MySpace profile famously declared "rocket scientist by day, party fool by night," and listed her interests thus: "Politics: F-- Bush. Sex: F-- Me."

The real double-standard is a pretty girl might not have to change careers after a felony conviction. She can always just marry some money and/or get pregnant (Whoops!) by money.

That's not an option most guys have.

It would be politically incorrect for her to go to jail if she stole ONLY 100K. I mean, how much have those same millionares stolen from us? Get the picture now?

oh COME ON guys: Katz's lawyer tells the AP her client is "looking forward to putting this behind her."

NO takers?!?

Oh I'll put something behind her, Does she have a tatoo target back there?

Snatch it up, my friend, dazzle us with your dirty pun!

I wonder if she bought those boobs with the money.

They should have made her repay double the amount of money she took.

theboneranger

chicks with big noses are known to give good defraudings though

It's ridiculous that her sentence was so lenient. It's definitely a felony, and a serious one. And switching "career"s at that age of 26 is not really a punishment. It's not like she was a neuro-surgeon or something.

I'm not sure what kind of career she is going to be able to get into if she has to keep checking that "Have you ever been convicted of a felony?" box for the rest of her life.

i dont think the "Have you ever been convicted of a felony?" box is on a stripper's application. i could be wrong though

rbeshenk

Not a neuro-surgeon... but judging by the pic, she did know head.

How is this even possible?

Can some one in the field of law explain how she could get such a lenient sentence?

really...

"How is this even possible?"

It's really not a shocking sentence. Plea agreement to a Class E felony, credit for time served, full restitution agreement, and it's her first offense. And let's face it, being a young woman with a college degree who was on a respectable career path doesn't hurt when you're trying to convince a judge and prosecutor that it's the first and last felony you'll ever commit.
