"...this defendant allegedly took advantage of a family's love for their daughter, stole their nest egg, and then gambled it away. Federal agents say the betting activity surfaced as they combed through digital bank records and payment histories. Instead of seeing routine business expenses tied to modeling agencies or event bookings, investigators say they found repeated transfers connected to sports wagering platforms."
"Chanise Coyne, 46, was indicted last week on several counts of wire fraud and money laundering. Prosecutors allege she persuaded a family to turn over more than $4.6 million, telling them the money would help build their daughter's career in child modeling. According to federal authorities, much of the cash was diverted for personal expenses. Court records specifically reference what prosecutors describe as 'significant gambling expenditures.'"
Chanise Coyne, 46, from New Boston, Michigan, faces federal prosecution for defrauding a family of over $4.6 million. She persuaded the family to invest the money for their daughter's child modeling career, but prosecutors allege the funds were diverted to personal expenses and online gambling accounts instead of legitimate modeling expenses. Federal investigators discovered repeated transfers to sports wagering platforms, including FanDuel, through analysis of digital bank records and payment histories. Rather than payments for modeling events, travel, or professional representation, the money was gambled away. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan indicted Coyne on wire fraud and money laundering charges, characterizing the scheme as exploiting a family's love for their daughter.
