The 33-year-old agrees to forfeit $1.3m (£1m) as part of a plea deal with prosecutors and serve six years in prison, and is due to be sentenced on 27 June.

A social media influencer has pleaded guilty to fraudulently obtaining more than $1m in COVID-19 pandemic-related loans from the US government used to fund a lavish lifestyle which she flaunted on Instagram.

The 33-year-old also agreed to forfeit $1.3m as part of a plea deal with prosecutors and serve six years in prison, 16 months of which could overlap with a five-year sentence she was handed in October in a separate Florida bank fraud case. She is said to have spent the money on travel and luxury items including a Rolex, a Louis Vuitton bag and Dior shoes, as well as posting photos on Instagram of herself at opulent hotels in California where she used a bank account in the name of one of her victims.

I hope they add a stipulation that she can't profit off of her story either like they do for serial killers.

Bet she wishes she was an MP in the UK, or a friend of a UK MP. She would have made much more than that, and never investigated afterwards.

SNAKE!
