A Manitowoc County woman is set to be sentenced for laundering millions of dollars.
Acting U.S. Attorney Richard Frohling has announced that 64-year-old Cherie Campion of Mishicot has pled guilty to two federal counts of money laundering.
Documents filed publicly show that Campion generated and submitted thousands of fraudulent invoices through her temporary staffing agency, which is based in Manitowoc.
These fraudulent documents caused losses of $5 million and $5.4 million for two companies she deceived.
Campion also went to substantial lengths to conceal her illegal activity, including registering a “proxy” company with the State of Wisconsin, submitting fake bank statements, and creating a fictitious persona associated with the fake invoices she made.
Campion’s multimillion-dollar money laundering scheme was investigated by the IRS, FBI, and other federal agencies.
She will return to federal court to be sentenced on January 27th, 2026.
