A Maui woman has admitted guilt in a romance scam ring that conned victims across the U.S. and Europe out of more than $9 million.

Amanda Joy Boshnick, 53, of Kula, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud alongside two brothers from Ghana who were part of the same operation.

The group targeted older adults on dating sites and social media, building fake relationships before asking for money or gifts like jewelry.

Victims were spread across 25 states as well as Germany and Austria, with total losses topping $9 million.

Boshnick faces up to 20 years in prison for her role in the scheme.

Outlook: Sentencing is expected to follow, and the case may expose more details about how the international scam network operated.
