ANOTHER Most Wanted Fraudster addition – our second of this week – as this @FBI hunts down alleged fraudsters all over the world led by @POTUS, @VP and @WHFraudTF with our DOJ partners @AGToddBlanche.

6 subjects arrested so far, successfully brought back from four different continents, on the run for over 4,000 days combined and allegedly responsible for over $2 billion in fraud.

Newest subject: MARY CAROLE MCDONNELL, wanted for her alleged involvement in a fraud scheme in Los Angeles and Orange Counties in California.

Beginning in approximately July of 2017, and continuing to May of 2018, McDonnell is alleged to have devised and participated in a scheme to fraudulently obtain money, funds, assets, and property owned by Banc of California. McDonnell allegedly and fraudulently obtained a total of approximately $14.7 million from the bank to which she knew she was not entitled and has not paid back. She also allegedly defrauded additional financial institutions in a similar fashion, with an estimated loss of over $15 million.

A federal arrest warrant was issued for McDonnell in December 2018 charging her with Bank Fraud and Aggravated Identity Theft – and she has been on the run since. It is believed McDonnell is currently in Dubai.

The FBI is offering a reward of up to $150,000 for the arrest and conviction of Mary Carole McDonnell. If you have any information, call 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit https://t.co/m55w5cqC7Y. @FBILosAngeles
