After allegedly conning British pensioners out of $70 million (£35 million), Zibiah Gunter, 25, had no reason to suspect that her world was about to come crashing down.
Hours later Ms Gunter’s sunny outlook probably changed when she was visited by special agents from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), who arrested her after a joint investigation with the US Secret Service, US Attorney’s Office and City of London Police.
According to the criminal complaint, the Gunters have been charged with conspiring to commit and committing substantive acts of mail fraud, wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering. They are due to appear in court in Tampa on Monday.
ICE alleges that most of the proceeds were directed into two private companies that have substantial property holdings in central Florida.
