A Coeur d’Alene woman was sentenced to 30 months in prison for wire fraud, announced U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson.
JoAnn Jackson, 63, was sentenced on [no date given] to serve 30 months in prison for wire fraud. U.S. District Judge Edward J. Lodge also ordered Jackson to serve three years of supervised release, to pay $811,084.32 in restitution and to serve 200 hours of community service.
According to the plea agreement, Jackson admitted that in 1994, she became a licensed stock broker in Idaho. Early in her career, Jackson came into contact with a victim, who eventually put all of her investment accounts under Jackson’s care.

With more than 20 federal agencies, 94 U.S. attorneys’ offices and state and local partners, it’s the broadest coalition of law enforcement, investigatory and regulatory agencies ever assembled to combat fraud. Since its formation, the task force has made great strides in facilitating increased investigation and prosecution of financial crimes; enhancing coordination and cooperation among federal, state and local authorities; addressing discrimination in the lending and financial markets and conducting outreach to the public, victims, financial institutions and other organizations.
Over the past three fiscal years, the Justice has filed more than 10,000 financial fraud cases against nearly 15,000 defendants including more than 2,700 mortgage fraud defendants.
