Newly Married 26-Yr-Old woman arrested while trying to cash $1m from 77-Yr-old husband's Account
A newly married 26-year-old woman has been arrested on charges alleging she tried to cash almost $1 million in checks from her 77-year-old husband's account.
Lin Helena Halfon was arrested earlier this month at Tampa International Airport.
She is facing charges of money laundering, organized fraud and exploitation of an elderly person. During her first court appearance, a judge set her bail at $1 million.
On November 7, Halfron walked into a branch of Amscot and tried to cash a $1 million check, claiming it would allow her to buy a yacht for her and her husband.
When the bank employees refused her, she left but came back later in the day with another three checks, each for $333,333.
