Pittsburgh Escorts: Woman In $2.5 Million Bank Fraud Gets Long Prison Term
January 4, 2012
But U.S. District Judge Alan Bloch decided against leniency, describing Manos-Becton’s criminal conduct as “endless” and saying this case was the latest in “a lifetime spent stealing.”

“The victims are really the Hill District residents for whom this institution was established and who benefited from it,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Hull, who prosecuted the case.
Hull said Manos-Becton has prior convictions for burglary, robbery, drug offenses and prostitution, not to mention more than 20 other convictions for fraud- or theft-related offenses, and at the time of the Dwelling House fraud, she was on probation for charges involving a weapons violation and sneaking contraband into a prison.
