But she won't lose her retirement benefits
Janet Yamanaka Mello, aka the “Gucci Goddess,” is accused in one of the biggest fraud cases the U.S. military has ever seen, allegedly stealing $108 million from the government.
The 57-year-old has pleaded guilty to fraud and faces up to 125 years in prison if convicted, the New York Post reports. But so many questions remain—particularly about how she spent all that money, some of which was funneled into purchasing 31 properties across the country.
Mello swindled the cash while working as a civilian financial program manager for the U.S. Army at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio. After creating a shell company in 2016, she submitted fake paperwork to request military dollars for her phony organization.
From there, she used these ill-gotten funds to sponsor an extravagant lifestyle, including jewelry, designer clothing, 80 vehicles, and yes, dozens of properties.
