Former defense employee Janet Mello, 58, is serving a 15-year sentence in prison for stealing $109 million from the Army, where she worked as a financial manager.

The cornerback and the Atlanta Falcons have reportedly agreed a four-year, $81million contract extension that includes an NFL-record $65.8m guaranteed. The news, reported by ESPN and NFL network on Thursday morning, means he has secured the biggest guarantee in history for a cornerback on a four-year-deal. He is also the second-highest paid cornerback of all time. The 25-year-old was selected with the 16th overall pick of the 2020 draft after playing college football at Clemson.

Janet Yamanaka Mello created a shell company in 2016 before splashing out on multiple McMansions, 82 supercars, motorcycles and flashy designer jewelry during the brazen six-year scam. Mello pleaded guilty in March to five counts of mail fraud and five counts of filing a tax return. She was sentenced by US District Judge Xavier Rodriguez on Tuesday.

Janet Yamanaka Mello (pictured), 57, lootie monies from military pensions and blew it on jewelry, clothes, luxury cars, and real estate in one of the biggest fraud cases the military has ever seen. Mello and her husband Mark were seen walking out of the federal courthouse in San Antonio with her husband Mark after she appeared before Magistrate Judge Richard Farrer and pleaded guilty to five counts of mail fraud and five charges of filing fraudulent tax returns. She confessed to taking advantage of the Army's lax controls at Installation Management Command to swoil the $108 million for a bogus business named CHYLD (Child Health and Youth Lifelong Development).

In one of the biggest fraud cases the military has ever seen, Janet Yamanaka Mello, 57, reportedly stole millions of dollars from military pensions and blew it on jewelry, clothing, luxurious cars, and real estate. The hustler was employed by the United States Army in Fort Sam Houston, Texas, as a CYS Financial Program Manager and reportedly established Child Health and Youth Lifelong Development in 2016. She used the company to fraudulently swindle money that was supposed to go to the children of army service employees and instead used the funds to finance her luxurious lifestyle. However, her scheme came crashing down in January as federal prosecutors collaborated with army investigators as they assembled the pieces of the puzzle together in January - well before Mello was criminally charged in December 2023. According to the signed reports, the alleged conwoman stole $108 million in less than seven years using her fake vender.

If Janet Mello, 57, is found guilty of one of the largest frauds in military history, she could forfeit her impressive portfolio of 31 mansions and 78 supercars, including Teslas and Aston Martins. She is accused of swindling over $100 million from the US military. Prosecutors claim she earned money from the military for her extravagant purchases while being a civilian financial program manager at Fort Sam Army Base. Mello has pleaded not guilty to a slew of charges relating to the alleged scheme, including mail fraud and identity theft, and court documents have seen police threaten to return the luxury items if convicted. Mello was released without bail following her arraignment in December, and her court date is set later this month.

Janet Yamanaka Mello, 57, who is accused of embezzling from the US Army and spending millions on 80 supercars and 31 real estate investments, says'she earned it' through an attorney and is shielded by government bureaucracy and federal law. In a statement, the command has no authority to influence Ms. Mello's resignation,' according to a spokeswoman for the Army's Installation Management Command. Although there are exceptions for treason and other more serious offences, they claim there is no such authority for refusing to pay based on a conviction of other offences.'

Janet Yamanaka Mello, 57, who is accused of embezzling from the US Army and investing millions of dollars on 80 flashy cars and 31 real estate properties, was not arrested until her appeal - after a judge granted her a personal recognizance bond. Despite Mello's previous residence in Guam, Judge Richard B Farrer did not consider her a flight risk, so he ordered her to be released after processing. This means she didn't have to pay a bond fee, but rather announced that she would attend all court appearances, according to reports from December 14. Mello is also accused of forging her boss' signature on paperwork that allowed her to move the money without anyone questioning it, in addition to reportedly funneling Army funds into a defunct company she created.

C.J. The Eagles are safe. Gardner-Johnson will be converted into former Philly defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon after the new Arizona Cardinals head coach spoke out about what went wrong defensively for his old team in the Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Speaking to reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Gannon, who was hired by the Cardinals just two days after losing Super Bowl LVII on February 12, touched on defensive flaws in judgement in last month's narrow 38-35 loss. [The Chiefs] made a good showing in the second half, but we weren't able to get stops when we needed to,' the 40-year-old said.
