She posed as a down-on-her-luck heiress (nữ thừa kế) who was battling with her Irish family over an exorbitant inheritance. Sympathizers lent her tens of thousands of dollars.
But Marianne Smyth, who was born in Maine, was not an Irish heiress, and there was no fortune. She has been accused over the years of using elaborate deceptions to swindle hefty sums of money in schemes that led to two felony convictions (tiền án).
Now Ms. Smyth, 54, is facing more accusations, this time from the authorities in the United Kingdom, who are seeking her extradition from the United States. The charges, for fraud and theft, date from March 2008 to October 2010, when Ms. Smyth was living in Northern Ireland, according to a complaint filed in federal court (nộp khiếu nại lên tòa án liên bang) in Maine. She was arrested last month in Maine, the U.S. Marshals Service said.
Instead, Ms. Smyth used his money to settle the restitution (giải quyết việc bồi thường) she owed (nợ) after being convicted of an earlier felony that involved the embezzling of funds (tham ô quỹ) from a travel agency (đại lý du lịch), he said.
Mr. Walton reported Ms. Smyth to the police. A jury found her guilty in 2019 of stealing from Mr. Walton and she was given a five-year sentence. She was released early in December 2020, according to court documents.
Then, Mr. Walton, who had been blogging about his case and hearing from other accusers, took a step further in 2021 with “Queen of the Con,” a podcast about his friendship with Ms. Smyth and her trial.
The accusations were first reported to the authorities in Northern Ireland in 2009, after Ms. Smyth had returned to the United States, and the authorities reviewing the case decided to pursue (theo đuổi) it once more in 2019.
