"Millionaire 'Gucci Goddess' Pleads Guilty to $108M Army Theft"

Janet Yamanaka Mello, known as the "Gucci Goddess," pleaded guilty to defrauding the US Army of $108 million and using the money to fund a lavish lifestyle, including purchasing luxury homes, cars, and high-end fashion items. She created a fake business to siphon the funds and now faces a potential prison sentence of 125 years, although this may be reduced due to a plea deal. Mello's husband has not been charged, and the government plans to recoup the stolen money from her properties and bank accounts.
