That’s the headline in the Rutland (Vermont) Herald. Denise Hall was employed by psychic Rosemary Altea. Ms. Hall pleaded guilty to wire fraud and filing a false tax return.
It seems that Ms. Hall was Ms. Altea’s bookkeeper. Ms. Hall needed some extra money, so she wrote checks from some of Ms. Altea’s credit cards…without letting Ms. Altea know. That’s fraud. And Ms. Hall didn’t report the extra income on her tax return; that’s filing a false tax return.
Of course, there’s an obvious question that must be asked. If Ms. Altea is a psychic, shouldn’t she have known about the fraud? Well, from reading her website it appears she’s a faith healer….
