In a plot twist that could only be scripted by a caffeine-fueled screenwriter, a United States judge has sentenced a Saipan woman-let’s call her Yuki, because her actual name is just too boring-to 71 months in federal prison for her little side gig as a con artist. And not just any con artist, mind you, but one who specifically targeted elderly women. Bravo, Yuki!
Our protagonist (if we can call her that without losing our lunch) spun an elaborate web of lies, claiming she was a wealthy Chinese heiress, owner of several businesses, and a Bitcoin mogul who made more money than most people make in a lifetime. I mean, if you’re going to lie, go big or go home, right?
Saipan Woman Gets 71 Months for Bitcoin Investment Scam Targeting Older Women
According to reports-because why wouldn’t you trust the press?-Yuki, who is actually Sze Man Yu Inos, 30, was gallivanting across Saipan and Guam, pretending to be the next financial guru while simultaneously playing the role of “loving daughter” to her victims. Between November 2020 and January 2022, she was busy charming senior women with her extravagant lunches and precious gifts. Talk about a high-stakes tea party!
“She confided in them about fictitious personal problems and claimed their friendship was important to her-often telling them, ‘You are like my mom,’” the press release read. Because nothing says “trust me with your life savings” quite like a stranger telling you that you remind them of their mother. What a way to bond over shared delusions!

NEWS ALERT from @FBIHonolulu: Saipan Woman Sentenced to 71 Months in Federal Prison for Wire Fraud Scheme Targeting Multiple Victims
Sze Man Yu Inos, aka “Yuki”, defrauded multiple older women in Saipan and Guam, falsely claiming she came from a wealthy family in China…

The audacity didn’t stop there! After leaving the Marianas, she took her talents to Washington and California, where she continued her fraudulent escapades. According to the FBI (you know, the folks who are always watching), she even forged a federal judge’s signature to keep the scam rolling. Because who needs morality when you’ve got confidence and a printer?
Eventually, the scales fell from the eyes of justice, and Yuki was found guilty of wire fraud. Her punishment? A mere 71 months in prison, coupled with three years of supervised release, 100 hours of community service, and restitution totaling a staggering $769,355.67. Oh, and let’s not forget the mandatory $200 special assessment-because even con artists need to pay their dues.
Not to mention, a criminal forfeiture judgment of $684,848.34 was slapped on her. I mean, at this point, can we just start a GoFundMe for her victims? It might be more effective than trusting the stock market!
As if that wasn’t enough to dampen the spirits of the aging population, crypto scams have surged across the U.S. The Federal Bureau of Investigation reported a jaw-dropping $11.4 billion in losses from cryptocurrency fraud in 2025. That’s a 22% increase from 2024. And guess who was holding the bag? Americans aged 60 and older accounted for $4.43 billion of those losses. Thanks, Yuki, for proving that sometimes, the only thing more volatile than Bitcoin is the truth!
