Overview
- A federal grand jury charged Gauthreaux with six counts of wire fraud that allege she siphoned about $894,000 from a public figure in Florida.
- Prosecutors say the thefts occurred from 2017 to 2021 through her firm, Accounting Resources and Management Services, using her authority to sign on the client's bank accounts.
- The Justice Department is seeking a forfeiture order for $894,274.26, which it describes as proceeds of the alleged scheme.
- The indictment does not name the victim, though multiple outlets report she previously worked for Hulk Hogan, who is not identified in the court filing.
- She faces up to 20 years in prison on each count if convicted, and the case moves forward after an FBI investigation under Assistant U.S. Attorney Merrilyn Hoenemeyer.
