Overview
- The guilty plea, which came Thursday, June 11, 2026, resolved federal wire-fraud charges that accused Murielle Misczak of taking more than $2.75 million from a Park Slope daycare.
- Court filings say the scheme ran from January 2022 through October 2025 with tuition payments routed to accounts she controlled and then transferred into her own accounts.
- Prosecutors say she spent more than $600,000 on travel and entertainment and about $350,000 on WWE tickets and packages for events with her children.
- The U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI say she hid the theft by deleting and altering the daycare’s accounting records and the case is handled by EDNY’s Business and Securities Fraud Section.
- Sentencing is pending with federal filings noting a statutory maximum of 20 years in prison and restitution of about $2.8 million, and some local reports add that the school alleged operational harm and that immigration consequences were possible.
