According to the guilty plea, between January 2020 and November 2023, the 41-year old Ellicott City woman defrauded a real estate agency that she worked for by transferring more than $1 million of company funds through wire transfers, Zelle payments, checks, and ACH to her personal bank accounts. Tinker fraudulently embezzled funds from the real estate agency’s accounts – including its escrow, operating, and commission accounts. The defendant used the funds that she stole from her employer to pay for luxury goods and personal expenditures such as vacations, Taylor Swift tickets, and five different vehicles.
