\u0027She had coupons for $24.99 off a $25 box of diapers. And it would work\u0027
“She had coupons for $24.99 off a $25 box of diapers. And it would work,” said Postal Inspector Jason Thomasson. “And you’d have people walking out the door with those diapers for almost nothing.”
Investigators were said to have found fake coupons worth more than $1 million ‘in every crevice of the house’ as well as designs for 13,000 products on her computer, after an arrest warrant was served. Thomasson claimed that “there were coupons in every jacket pocket; they were stuffed in her vehicles.”
In addition to saving money by bamboozling retailers, Lori Ann Talens’ subscribers paid her almost $400,000 through payment apps and virtual currency wallets, which was later determined by an FBI forensic accountant who traced thousands of transactions over the course of three years. Her family, including husband Pacifico Talens, Jr. who is sentenced to 87 months in prison for supporting his wife’s scheme, took trips, shopped, dined out and also paid for high-end home renovations with the illegal funds collected over the years.
