A U.S. Army employee pleaded guilty to defrauding the government following allegations she stole $108 million in Army funds to spend on personal items, including jewelry, clothing, cars and homes. Janet Yamanaka Mello, 57, was accused of defrauding the government out of $108 million while working as a civilian financial program manager at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas.

The U.S. government is investigating the 31 properties under her name in Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and Washington, as well as about 80 motorcycles and $18 million discovered in six bank accounts. Mello, who included CHYLD on her personal income tax forms, had her home raided in August after the IRS partnered with criminal investigators for the Army.
