Santina Hill, 51, could face up to 75 years in prison after allegedly orchestrating an elaborate fraud scheme that prosecutors say generated at least $300,000 (£224,500) through a loophole in the return policies of retail chains including TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Home Goods.
According to prosecutors, Hill was at the centre of the alleged scheme, which operated from November 2020 to May 2021 across multiple states, primarily Georgia and Florida. Authorities allege the operation generated about $50,000 (£37,400) in fraudulent returns in Florida alone.
