Is it my imagination or is there a steady stream of young women engaging in relatively high-level fraud. Circa $200,000 to £500,000 frauds are no small-beer, even in western countries.

The modus operandi follows a familiar pattern: Flashy pictures of travel and expensive cars, glamour-puss social media photos,(present case excepted, she is a minger), and always a huge bouncing cheque.

$250k is 50 years annual salary of $5k, (which is about average). For scale, that would be a $2 million fraud in the UK, which would get you some very serious police attention.

Fraud is almost always committed by men (along with most crimes) so why are high-level fraud cases here dominated by women?

Or are the women hung out to dry in the media, while the men pay the right people to make it all go away?

It's in the culture, women handle the finances of the household. I'm sure her husband brought it many fellows from work to scam though, don't see how she was the only one charged.

I don't think that fraud cases here are particularly dominated by women, and I don't agree that this is an example of high level fraud.

This is garden variety ting tong fraud and piss easy to solve

The real high level stuff involves 7, 8 and 9 figures and doesn't end in court very often

I checked your assertion that males are typically fraud perps globally and it's true at 73%

However I noted that in certain situations and positions globally women account for up to 75% of fraud.

This is a serious gender imbalance. I will crusade for more women to be fraudsters to level the playing field lol

The purpose of this study is to investigate how upwardly mobile women may impact the commission and type of white-collar crime, contributing to the scarce literature on gender distinctions in criminal behavior while comparing criminal trends globally. Women’s increased representation in positions of power in business provides them with increased fraud opportunities prompting the authors to ask: in their areas of opportunity, do women and men commit the same types of white-collar crime and at the same rates, and how does this phenomena vary globally? Design/methodology/approach Using a database from the Institute for Fraud Prevention, 5,441 fraud cases are examined from 93 nations for the annual periods from 2002 until 2011. Ordinal logistic regression methods are used to test for differences in gendered criminal behavior by fraud offense type controlling for age, position, education, compensation level and country context. Findings Internationally, results from the study indicate that female fraudsters are three times more likely than male fraudsters to commission crimes of asset misappropriation in the workplace. Upon further investigation, stratifying the data by geographical region, findings from the study demonstrate that female fraudsters are more likely than male fraudsters to commit asset misappropriation in the following geographical regions: Africa (three times as likely), Asia (twice as likely), Canada (three times as likely), China (five times as likely), Europe (twice as likely), the Middle East (four times as likely), Oceania (four times as likely), the United Kingdom (eight times as likely) and the United States of America (twice as likely).

We can agree to disagree and what constitutes high-level fraud. I think $250-$500,000 is high level in Cambodia, you do not. You might be right.

Findings Internationally, results from the study indicate that female fraudsters are three times more likely than male fraudsters to commission crimes of asset misappropriation in the workplace.

Maybe because accounts departments are full of women, and when it comes to the types of cases that are discovered and prosecuted, they will involve some access to the accounting systems and controls of stock and cash allocation, including direct bank transfers. Pilfering stock directly from the warehouse is crude and easy to spot. Most warehouse people are men.

Accounting frauds are more complex, and complexity is the fraudster's friend. You may be surprised how often a business owner has serious skill deficits when it comes to their own accounting software. The women in accounts probably know this. Dishonest women will see where the cracks are. Add to the mix the lack of thorough auditing requirements for small businesses - under £10m and 50 employees - and you can see why so many companies get fleeced for years.

This assertion is not based on any academic research whatsoever, just a very long time running businesses in the UK.
