A Milwaukee woman was recently sentenced to five years in prison, and with up to 12 years of supervision and restitution.

The woman was accused of defrauding the state from a healthcare scam.  The woman was estimated to have received over $369,000 in taxpayer funded money.

The defense claimed that one of the main reasons the woman did the fraud was to help pay for her cancer treatment.

This case has served as an example of why serious reforms need to occur in the system.

A woman from Calumet County who is a  securities broker is being accused of stealing over $2.5 million dollars from her clients. The individuals who lost money were giving the money to the woman, believing that she was investing it.  Clients , which consisted mostly of friends and family, would write out checks for cash  and give them to her. The woman would then deposit that money into personal accounts.

The criminal complaint shows that nearly $1.2 million dollars went to companies located in Vegas and other locations that had to deal with gaming.  This brings the possibility that the woman was doing a large portion of this fraud in order to pay for gambling losses. 

The woman is expected to appear back in court on May 11th to enter her plea.
