Made millions: a Texas woman for 20 years stole things in stores and sold on eBay

A 63-year-old resident of Dallas, Texas, was sent to federal prison for participating in a multimillion dollar theft of goods in various US states, which she subsequently sold on eBay, US Attorney Ryan Patrick said. This is stated on the official website of the US Department of Justice.

Kim Richardson pleaded guilty on December 17, 2019.

US District Judge Andrew Hanen ordered her to serve a total of 54 months in federal prison, followed immediately by three years under supervision. She also agreed to pay $ 3,8 million in compensation. In passing the verdict, the court noted that it is practically impossible to identify all victims according to this long-standing scheme.

Richardson admitted to being part of the scheme, which ran from August 2000 to April 2019. During this time, she stole from shops while traveling in the United States. She then sold the stolen goods to buyers on eBay and online direct sales, and mailed it to the US, Federal Express, and United Parcel Service.

Richardson has stolen items from numerous retail stores. She used tools to disable security devices and walked out of the store with the stolen goods in a large black bag. Richardson helped sell items online, as well as packaging and shipping stolen goods.

Buyers sent roughly $ 3,8 million across the scheme to four PayPal accounts associated with Richardson.

Richardson was allowed to remain on bail and voluntarily surrender to the US Prison Administration, the choice of which will be determined in the near future.
