Kadiatu Sahid Kamara, 50, of Gaithersburg was sentenced on
Monday in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, Assistant U.S. Attorney
Thomas Windom said in a statement. She pleaded guilty to mail fraud and
aggravated identity theft in August.
Kamara had access to checks linked to a married couple's
money market account while she was caring for their children, according
to prosecutors.
She forged signatures on 118 checks between May 2011 and May 2013 and
put the money in her bank account. She used it to buy a house in Africa,
send money transfers, and take trips to a West Virginia casino,
prosecutors have said.
Kamara has also agreed to pay back the money.
