Three women were arrested Friday for the alleged theft of nearly $1 million in federal student loans.
The suspects were identified as Nyisha Ramsey, 43, of Lancaster, Dionne Ramsey, 36, of Las Vegas, (Nyisha’s sister) and Sharyn Barney, 62, of Lancaster, (Nyisha’s mother-in-law), by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
The three women are accused of obtaining around $980,000 in student loans using stolen identities, some of which belonged to California inmates, authorities said.
From January 2012 to August 2017, the suspects obtained stolen names and Social Security numbers to fraudulently enroll in an Orange County community college.
The suspects posed as fake students while applying for funds through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) program. They directed all stolen funds to their personal bank accounts which were used for personal expenses and not college tuition, authorities said.
All three defendants were arrested on one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud affecting a financial institution and bank fraud.
Dionne Ramsey faces four additional counts of wire fraud affecting a financial institution.
If convicted of all charges, each suspect could face up to 30 years in prison for each count, officials said.

A double whammy - not only that they stole all those funds but now taxpayers will have to pay for their incarcerations.
Does this mean they won’t get Jo Jo’s $25,000 in cash from his campaign promise Student Loan Deadbeat Fund?
Amateurs.
The pros wait until they’re elected to start looting the public treasury.
Nyisha........Amish???
And such a clever plan, depositing the illicitly gotten gains into their personal accounts.
1. steal the money
2. ?

“All three defendants were arrested on one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud affecting a financial institution and bank fraud.”
“Dionne Ramsey faces four additional counts of wire fraud affecting a financial institution.”
Seriously, this is all their charged with? There to be a list a mile long of the crimes they committed.
And, on a side note, makes you wonder how many of the millions of people looking for the student loan bailout actually used their “student loans” for their education and how many actually completed the educations they want us to pay for . . .
...and her sister Dionne are Amish.
Hunter is still in Malibu odd huh.
You see, if they’d been given their reparations sooner, they wouldn’t have had to resort to this.

Yep! If convicted ...a big if.
