KIRKLAND, Wash. - A federal judge in Seattle has ordered that three of Kirkland financial guru Rhonda Breard's homes be placed off limits to her as she awaits trial on fraud charges.
The order says that if Breard is convicted of bilking her customers out of millions of dollars, the government plans on going after the homes to help pay restitution to her clients.
The homes include her waterfront mansion on Lake Washington, along with suburban and rural spreads in Redmond and Duvall.
Breard also faces a civil suit from some of her clients.
The woman who made a name selling her financial advice on local TV and radio. She was fired by ING Financial Partners in February for allegedly altering her clients' accounts. The losses could top out at more than $8,000,000.
The government claims Breard funneled the millions from her clients' accounts for her own personal gain, including the homes, a fleet of cars and a stable of snowmobiles and jet skis.
