An Ohio woman has pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering in connection to an $8 million romance scam, according to the US Department of Justice Wednesday.
Between 2020 and 2023, Pamela Moore received more than $8 million in criminally derived funds, personally pocketing $1.7 million of the funds, which she used or converted to Bitcoin.
As part of her plea deal, Moore will pay $1.6 million in restitution, said the DOJ.
