Kadoka Woman Pleads Not Guilty to Eight Counts of Wire Fraud, Identity Theft
A Kadoka woman has been accused of using her ex-husband’s name and banking information to conduct a string of fraudulent wire transfers, leaving her in-laws out $20,000 or more.
Tammy Twiss, 38, also known as Tammy Eisenbraun, was indicted by a federal grand jury on November 16, 2016, on eight counts of wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and eight counts of bank fraud.
Twiss appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Daneta Wollmann on November 18, 2016, and pleaded not guilty to the indictment.
The investigation into the case is being conducted by the U.S. Postal Service, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Megan Poppen is prosecuting the case.
Twiss was released on bond pending trial, with a trial date set for January 24, 2017.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is 30 years in custody and/or a $1,000,000 fine, 5 years of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
Restitution may also be ordered. The charges are merely accusations and Twiss is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
Twiss allegedly used her ex-husband’s name and her in-laws’ banking information to electronically withdraw in excess of $20,000 from their bank account.
