Moore operated a business called PSM Custom Designs and Jewelries, which she allegedly used as a front to launder millions of dollars obtained through fraudulent means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to investigators, Moore maintained multiple bank accounts under the guise of running a legitimate business. However, these accounts were not used for typical business transactions; instead, they were solely dedicated to moving and concealing money obtained from various scams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the scheme, Moore managed to pocket around $1.7 million of the scammed funds for herself. The fraudulent activities came to light after a thorough investigation, leading to her arrest and subsequent sentencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to serving her prison sentence, Moore has been ordered to pay $1,680,900 in restitution, effectively returning a portion of the stolen funds. This restitution is intended to help compensate the victims who suffered significant financial losses due to the scams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Authorities have emphasized that Moore&#8217;s actions were part of a larger criminal network, and the investigation is ongoing as they work to uncover other individuals involved in the scheme. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and thorough investigation when it comes to financial crimes and fraudulent activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A business owner, identified as Moore, was sentenced to nearly two years in prison after investigators uncovered her involvement in a sophisticated money laundering scheme.
