Woman gets jail time in beanie baby case

Nancy McKenna: Bears remain in custody

By Art Peterson
STAFF WRITER

Nancy McKenna was sentenced Friday in Lake County Circuit Court to jail and probation, and ordered to pay partial restitution, but her hundreds of Beanie Babies will remain in custody, at least for another week.

Associate Judge John Phillips, in sentencing the 48-year-old Winthrop Harbor resident, said state law prevents him from requiring restitution for all victims, but expressed hope that McKenna would voluntarily re-pay all of the slighted customers.

Phillips earlier found McKenna guilty of one count of felony theft, but not guilty of many other theft, computer and wire fraud charges.

McKenna had sold Beanie Babies through her former store, Nana's, in Zion, and over e-Bay auctions on the Internet. The electronic shopping place drew many complaints from customers who said they paid for, but never received, their then-trendy plush bears.

McKenna contends she sold more than 12,000 Beanie Babies and failed to ship only 200 to 250. After she had failed, for many months to heed warnings of Winthrop Harbor police and reimburse the victims, police seized several hundred of the little bears.

Prosecutor Patricia Fix suggested Friday that the Sheriff's Department be allowed to hold an auction for the bears being held in custody, with proceeds used to pay back victims. Phillips said that could not be done without the state acquiring the bears through forfeiture, and Fix said that can't be done "at the present time."

Phillips said the bears will be held until both sides agree whether or not an appeal will be filed. He set a hearing for March 12. If there will be no appeal, the bears will be released to McKenna for sale.

Phillips said he is limited to being able to order McKenna to pay restitution to six victims, a total of $1,156. He ordered that payback to be completed within 18 months.

Fix had recommended that McKenna be ordered to pay back 56 victims at a total of more than $4,500. Defense attorney Ralph Strathmann had recommended that McKenna be ordered to pay back only one customer $799.

Phillips also sentenced McKenna to nine months of periodic imprisonment, with all but the first 45 days stayed, pending successful completion of the remainder of the sentence. She can be released only for work and treatment.

She must also serve 24 months of intensive probation and perform 175 hours of public service work.

McKenna must avoid any Internet sales or purchases, as well as alcohol or controlled substances. She must maintain full-time employment.

Phillips cited a concern for drug use in her household, where her three grown children have lived recently. Two daughters were arrested on drug charges during a police search in McKenna's home for Beanie Babies. One is still in jail and McKenna is taking care of her children.

McKenna said "I'm sorry it came down to this. I tried hard to run a business. For a long time I had many happy customers. I didn't mean to defraud anyone."

She blamed the problem on a health problem and a co-worker.

"I don't buy it," Phillips said, adding that McKenna "took in money, placed orders on the data base and did shipping. She kept the money and didn't ship Beanie Babies."

The Court ordered defendant, RICHARD K PARRIS, to serve the following term of imprisonment: 24 months.

Upon release from confinement, the defendant shall be on supervised release for the following term: 3 years.

The court ordered restitution to be paid.

It is important for people who were involved in this case to know that just because the court ordered restitution does not meant the defedant will make restitution payments. In the event restitution payments are received from the defendant, the funds will be distributed by the Clerk of the U.S. District Court.

The US Attorneys office is very appreciative of all of those victims that followed through with all the paper work. Without their help, the case would not of had a successful conclusion.

Thomas B. Heffelinger of the US attorney's office for the District of Minnesota.

The hundreds of Beanie Babies held as evidence in Lake County Circuit Court likely will get their freedom Feb. 20, the same day their owner, Nancy A. McKenna, will be sentenced for theft.
McKenna, a 47-year-old Winthrop Harbor resident, was found guilty of felony theft Friday by Associate Judge John Phillips, but not guilty of computer and wire fraud charges.
The conviction on the Class 3 felony carries a maximum sentence of two to five years in prison, but is also probationable.

McKenna had sold Beanie Babies through her former store, Nana's, on Sheridan Road in Zion, and over e-Bay auctions on the Internet. It was the latter that drew many complaints from customers who said they'd paid but never received their bears.

McKenna, through defense attorney Ralph Strathmann, blamed her former business partner, Martin Bachler, who now lives in Springfield, Mo., for mishandling funds. Bachler blamed McKenna. McKenna and Strathmann contend the matter was a failed business; prosecutor Patricia Fix called it an Internet scam.

The bench trial was conducted over six days of court time, spanning several months. Fix, chief of the Cyber Crimes Division in the state's attorney's office, had said McKenna was "200 to 300 orders behind" in bear shipments to high bidders from e-Bay, and "$10,000 to $20,000 behind" in account payments. McKenna contends she had shipped more than 12,000 of the trendy bears and failed to ship only 200 to 250.

Phillips said he reached his finding, based on "observations of the demeanor of witnesses and judging their credibility," and reviewing contents of "boxes and boxes and boxes of exhibits and Beanie Babies."

Prosecutors failed to prove the computer fraud charge beyond a reasonable doubt, Phillips said. They would have had to prove that McKenna not only had access to a computer, but also created an "artifice" (a trick) to defraud customers. The e-Bay portion of the business was handled by Bachler, Phillips said, "although at the direction of Nancy McKenna."

Prosecutors failed to prove that McKenna had devised a scheme to defraud at the time of the wire transactions, Phillips said, although McKenna kept "detailed records and spreadsheets on the filling of orders."

The theft conviction was based on one customer, a woman who had paid $799 for Beanie Babies but never received the bears or a refund, Phillips said.

McKenna had placed the $799 into an account only she controlled, Phillips said. "From that account, she paid herself much more" than what was owed the victim.

Even though McKenna was told by police, beginning in late 2000, to ship bears or pay refunds, the victim is still bear-less and out $799, Phillips indicated. "Three-and-a-half years later, it is still not done. Her (McKenna) excuses are not believable."

After setting the date for sentencing, Phillips ordered McKenna "not to be involved in retail sales or any kind of sales over the Internet." Strathmann said she is employed as an inventory checker for a large company.

Phillips said he will keep the evidence, including boxes of documents and Beanie Babies, in his office until sentencing, when a decision will be made on disposal. The small mountain of paper and plush toys takes up about one-eighth of his office space, Phillips said.

Tarentum man who allegedly bilked more than $18,000 from people using the Internet must refund his victims' money, but he won't go to jail.
Federal prosecutors say Jeffrey Diller claimed to be selling Beanie Babies and Rolex watches on auction sites, but he never sent the promised goods to the buyers.

Diller, 34, will spend six months on house arrest and serve five years of probation.

(KMOV) -- A south St. Louis woman is being charged with Internet auction fraud that has reportedly touched dozens of victims in the U.S. and even overseas.

"She probably was one of the more creative con artists," says assistant circuit attorney Scott Ingram.

Ingram is talking about Dawn Hodge of Company DMH Services. Hodge assumed the identity of an acquaintance and claimed to peddle TVs, Beanie Babies even laptop computers on sites like eBay.

Katherine Blumenthal and her husband who worked for a French company were victimized in the amount of $20,000.

Fed up with being taken by Hodge, consumers started filing complaints with the Internet Fraud and Complaint Center.

Victims also began striking back launching a Web site posting warnings about doing business with Hodge. Police served a warrant at Hodge's home seizing computer discs and printouts as evidence of the yearlong scam. Meantime, Blumenthal and her husband learned a hard lesson professionally.

Hodge is charged with six felonies including money laundering and stealing. Auction fraud has become today's new crime trend. The Internet Fraud and Complaint Center referred more than 48,000 complaints to police just last year. Consumer losses total $54 million.

The lesson from cases like this is to never pay up front. Prosecutors say always try to check out a seller before sending money.

A Minnesota man has admitted defrauding about 1000 customers through an Internet sales business.

Twenty-year-old Richard Parris of Minnetrista has pleaded guilty to selling counterfeit Beanie Babies, North Face jackets and other items on the Internet. He also admitted that he didn't deliver some of the merchandise that customers ordered.

Parris pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud and one count of trafficking in counterfeit goods Friday in a federal court in Minneapolis. He had been indicted on 24 counts last February.

Parris admitted that he operated under eleven different Internet addresses and screen names while soliciting customers through eBay and a Yahoo auction site and by direct solicitation.

Authorities say Parris defrauded customers in the United States, Canada and Great Britain of more than $120,000.

Four indicted for online auction fraud
Friday, May 16, 2003

By Torsten Ove, Post-Gazette Staff Writer
http://www.post-gazette.com/localnews/20030516ebayfraudreg5p5.asp

Four men have been indicted in federal court in Pittsburgh as part of a nationwide crackdown on Internet fraud called "Operation E-Con" that will be announced today in Washington, D.C., by U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft.

Three of the indictments involved local men charged with selling items online that they didn't own and had no intention of delivering. They used eBay and other Internet auction sites.

A fourth man from Germany is also under indictment here because some of his victims live in the federal court's Western District of Pennsylvania.

The indictments name as defendants Rajit Duggal, 26, of Monroeville; Keith B. Condon, 19, of the North Side; Jeffrey Alan Diller, 34, of Tarentum; and Mario Koch, 30, of Ingolstadt, Germany.

The U.S. attorney's staff would not discuss the cases in detail, but the indictments indicate the men repeatedly sold items online that they didn't own and then had payments sent to various addresses.

None of the men was connected with any of the others, but all are being prosecuted as part of Operation E-Con.

According to the indictments, Duggal, sometimes using the name "Michael Booker," sent e-mails to eBay customers and offered to sell items such as cameras and sound systems. Customers paid him through the "Paypal" online payment service and delivered checks to an address he established at Mail Boxes Etc. on Mall Boulevard in Monroeville.

Duggal defrauded customers from across the United States from October 2001 through June 2002, according to the indictment. Ronald James Wiest of Cottage Grove, Minn., for example, paid for a $629 Sony digital camera kit that he never received.

Condon and Koch pulled similar schemes, according to the grand jury.

Diller began his operation in 1999, prosecutors said, when he advertised Beanie Babies and Beanie Baby cards online and had customers send payments to an address on Cambridge Street in Harrison. When customers complained about not receiving their merchandise, police investigated, but Diller fled and disappeared.

In 2000, he resurfaced using a new Internet name and a new address for payments at the same Mail Boxes Etc. used by Duggal. When customers complained again that they weren't getting their items, the charges say, Diller put them off by saying he was sick.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
May 14, 2003

NATIONAL TAKEDOWN EVENT

Indictment Returned in Internet Crime "Beanie Babie" Investigation

MEMPHIS-

Terrell L. Harris, United States Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee, in participation with a national takedown event to highlight Internet crimes, announced that a federal grand jury returned a 19-count indictment charging a husband and wife, Angelia K Moore and Timothy A. Moore, with conspiracy, mail fraud, and identity theft in connection with an Internet business that was operating out of their private residence in Memphis, Tennessee.

In detailing the conspiracy and mail fraud charges, the indictment states that the Moore's were buying and selling Beanie Babies and other merchandise on the Internet. The indictment charges that the Moore's would use various alias and fraudulent representations to induce numerous individuals to send money in payment for merchandise only to fail to provide the buyer with the merchandise. In other instances the indictment charges that individuals actually received merchandise only to be disappointed that it was of a different quality and quantity than they had ordered. The indictment further states that the Moore's would induce other individuals to send them merchandise and then fail to make payment. The indictment states that the Moore's, through personal contact, lulled their victims by claiming extreme medical emergency pertaining to themselves or their immediate family, or that some other recent and catastrophic misfortune had occurred preventing them from being able to execute payment or delivery of goods as promised. The indictment further alleges that the Moore's would use the personal information of their customers, from Internet auctions or otherwise, to obtain money and things of value and to open numerous Internet auctions. This personal information included individuals' personal check information, bank account information, and credit card information. The indictment alleges that the Moore's defrauded more than 163 individuals and were unlawfully enriched approximately $100,000.

Angelia K. Moore is named in all nineteen counts. Timothy A. Moore is named in eight counts in the Indictment. The Conspiracy count carries a maximum possible penalty of not more than five years, not more than $250,000.00 or both. Each mail fraud count carries a maximum possible sentence of not more than twenty years, not more than $250,000.00 or both. Each count charging fraud in connection with an unauthorized access device carries a maximum sentence of not more than ten years, not more than $250,000.00 or both.

The investigation was conducted by the United States Postal Inspection Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant U. S. Attorney Rao Oliver will represent the government.

Note: Charges brought against a person through an indictment are accusations only. That person is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Dear Traderlist (Cindy, Pat)

Good news! Today, 13 March 2003, Christopher Alex Johnson entered pleas of guilt on 35 separate charges in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario Canada. Charges included possession of credit card data, fraud and attempt fraud of merchants in Sault Ste. Marie using stolen credit card data and use of such data. He was also convicted of "Spamming" Traderlist by interfering with the lawful use and operation of property to wit Traderlist.com. He also plead guilty to possession of computer passwords enabling him to commit the offence of possessing credit card data, possession of property obtained by crime to wit: user id's and passwords from Paypal.com. He also was convicted with bail violations concerning his flight from outstanding charges in Ottawa, Ontario.

Johnson has been convicted and sentenced to a period of 11 months incarceration (jail time) with a 2 year period of probation to follow. Because he has been in custody since his arrest he was credited with pre sentence time and will serve an additional three months from this date. The judge emphasized deterrence in his sentencing and placed Johnson on probation for 2 years after he is released from jail ( and this will start after he has served all his time as he is still facing numerous fraud charges in Ottawa yet to be heard). His probation order included reporting to a probation officer, making financial restitution to merchants defrauded (over $4000.00) AND he has been ordered not to use, possess or access in any way any computer (as defined in the Criminal Code of Canada) and is barred from any access or use of the internet what so ever. To quote the judge "he is out of the computer business". We do not expect him to abide by these conditions and any evidence of him returning to the internet will be pursued vigorously.

I expect Johnson to be transferred via the correctional system back to Ottawa shortly to face numerous fraud charges stemming from fraudulent internet trades. I expect he will be convicted there as well.

Thank you for all of your assistance with this investigation. Your information helped in getting one of the few convictions in this country for "Spamming" as a type of mischief to property. The service you provide is invaluable - please commend everyone involved! You have my utmost appreciation! Please feel free to post or disseminate this information.

A beloved children's toy is at the center of a world wide scam investigation. A Memphis woman was arrested months ago failing to deliver the beanies after people paid for them.

Now she's out of jail and inspectors say she is back in business. " Although we confiscated four computers that day that does not preclude the fact that she could go right back out and get a new computer and be right back in business," said Postal Inspector Katrina Chalmers.

Since Moore's arrest Postal inspectors have gotten hundreds of new complaints, some even from other countries. One woman e-mailed Action News Five that she is one of Moore's latest victims. "Miss Moore may think she's smart and beating the system but she's not. She is under active investigation. New Victims are coming forward and we are logging those and they will be included in the indictment," said Chalmers.

I went to Moore's last known address to talk with her about the investigation, but found no one at home.

Until indictments come, the Postal Inspector warns Internet shoppers to avoid buying beanie babies at Internet auction sites.
