A Mishicot woman convicted in a federal money laundering case has been sentenced.
64-year-old Cherie Campion was ordered to spend a year and a half in federal prison and pay nearly $10.4 million in restitution after she pleaded guilty to two counts of Money Laundering.
Publicly filed documents show that Campion generated and submitted thousands of fraudulent invoices through her Manitowoc-based temporary staffing agency.
These fraudulent documents caused losses of $5 million and $5.4 million for two companies she deceived.
Campion’s multimillion-dollar money laundering scheme was investigated by the IRS, FBI, and other federal agencies.
