Sixty-Five-Year-Old Convicted for Charity Heist | Pittsburgh News
Description
A 65-year-old woman, Ramona Wilkes, just received a conviction for ripping off Pittsburgh’s Tickets for Kids charity—stealing 22,000 tickets and flipping them for $760,000 while kids never got to use them. Facing five years probation—including a year of house arrest—and ordered to pay back $57,000, Wilkes exploited a noble cause for personal gain. Two co-conspirators and a ticket broker company have already pleaded guilty. The Attorney General called it a stark warning: charity scams won’t be tolerated.
