No Jail Expected for Chase Fraud Broad

i'd pull one through her. pics plz

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.

look at that giant schnozzz!! hope she stashed some cash to get that thing chopped.

chicks with big noses are known to give good defraudings though

haha there are some good zingers here....

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

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.

see above. happens all the time, especially in divorce court and custody hearings.

Maybe she defrauded the judge in his private chambers...

i'd defraud that.

Eiffel tower FTW

The crime she committed is, I believe, Bank Fraud. That being it's a federal offense. The Federales are not usually amenable to charitable sentences.

According the linked AP article, it was Grand Larceny. While the article doesn't specify, it's likely the plea was to a 4th degree charge. With a full restitution agreement (a court can't order restitution of over $15,000 without the defendant's agreement) and being a first-time offender, and credit for time served, it's really not a surprising sentence.

Bank fraud, access device fraud (possibly aggravated access device fraud if she used a false document to obtain the ATM card), maybe wire or mail fraud if she sent materials in order to get the ATM card.

I doubt the Feds would pick this up though. Their financial crimes units are all wrapped up in securities cases these days.

Well its not like this will be wiped from her record & she obviously can't work for any bank ever again because of it. She'll have to change careers entirely.

I think its fair.

Offering to publish/film her story in 3, 2, 1....

If she walked into a bank and robbed them of $100K at the window, she'd go to jail. WTF is the difference here?

This is actually more like her breaking into someone's safe deposit box and stealing stacks of $100 bills...then going out and doing the stupidest shit possible with it.

anyone else wouldve seen some time. This is unbelevieable. probation is a walk in the park. justice is not blind....

Sounds like the millionaire forgave her... on one condition.

Orly?

another case of blatant sexist double-standards in our courts.

She's white, Jewish and female. Of course she won't face the wrath of the law.
