A nurse was on Friday charged with fraud after being accused of obtaining monies from persons through the operation of a Ponzi scheme.
Keziah Jeuel Roberts, 32, of Lot 88 Eping and Ituni avenues, Bel Air Park, appeared in two Georgetown courtrooms where she was charged with a total of four counts of fraud and released on $180,000 bail.
Roberts was first arraigned in Court Two before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly, who read the first three indictable charges to her. It is alleged that on January 5, at Georgetown, with intent to defraud she obtained the sum of $80,000 from Lynn Melvin, by pretending that she was in the position to invest the said sum of money and deliver to Melvin the sum of $360,000 within 21 days.
