Coeur d’Alene – Former Idaho resident Susan White, a/k/a Susan Milne, was sentenced to 12 months and one day in federal prison for participating in a fraud scheme by acting as a money mule and transmitting fraud proceeds through her personal and third-party bank accounts, U.S. Attorney Bart Davis announced.
According to court records, beginning in late 2017 through approximately July 2018, White operated as a money mule for various fraud schemes, including business email compromise schemes and other internet-enabled fraud.

In exchange for transmitting the funds, White retained a portion of the funds deposited into the various accounts.
Chief U.S. District Judge Amanda K. Brailsford also ordered White to serve 3 years of supervised release following her prison sentence and to pay $66,130.75 in restitution.
U.S. Attorney Davis made the announcement and commended the work of United States Secret Service, which led to the charges. Assistant U.S. Attorney Brittney Campbell prosecuted the case.
