Kathleen Dvorak pleaded guilty in May to wire and bank fraud and was sentenced Thursday in federal court in Benton, Ill. Federal prosecutors said the 61-year-old wrote large checks to herself from the victim’s bank account and taking cash for herself when depositing checks into the victim’s accounts.
From 2012 to 2019, prosecutors estimate she defrauded the client out of more than $1 million. They say she hid the fraud by making false entries into the client’s accounting files.
