Pittsburgh Escorts: Woman gets 12 1/2 years for Pittsburgh thrift fraud

January 4, 2012

Assistant public defender Jay Finkelstein argued that people convicted of much larger financial frauds received “single-digit” sentences. He asked the court for less than nine years in prison even though Jammie Harris, 47, a Pittsburgh woman who stole roughly $1.1 million after Manos-Becton told her about the accounting glitch, was sentenced to more than nine years in prison last year.
Bloch rejected any leniency and, instead, imposed the stiffest sentence possible under the guidelines, saying Manos-Becton “fails to acknowledge the tremendous role she played in the fraud against this financial institution.”
Veronica Smith, 56, of Pittsburgh, and Manos-Becton’s 25-year-old son, Dimitri Manos, of Coraopolis, have pleaded guilty to lesser roles in the scheme and are scheduled for sentencing Thursday.
Hull argued that Manos-Becton was a career criminal with convictions for burglary, robbery, drug offenses and prostitution—not to mention more than 20 other convictions for fraud- or theft-related offenses. At the time of the Dwelling House fraud, she was on probation for Florida charges involving a weapons violation and sneaking contraband into a prison in that state, Hull said.
