Instagram influencer sentenced to prison for misusing COVID relief funds to fund lavish lifestyle
Instagram influencer Danielle Miller has been sentenced to five years in prison for using stolen identities to secure over $1 million in pandemic-related loans, which she used to fund her extravagant lifestyle and flaunt it on social media. Miller pleaded guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges and will also serve three years of supervised release. She will be required to pay restitution, with the amount to be determined later. Prosecutors emphasized that Miller's actions were not those of an influencer but of a convicted felon who stole from innocent people in need.
