Sherrie Billings, a 53-year-old resident of Midwest City, has admitted guilt to charges of wire fraud and filing a false tax return. The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.
Billings, who worked as a regional property manager for Manhattan Management Company, LLC (MMC) from January 2017 to July 2022, misused her position to defraud the company. She had access to MMC's bank account and credit card for maintenance purposes but used them for personal expenses instead. According to court documents, she issued approximately 385 unauthorized checks, withdrawing about $1,660,238 from MMC’s account. Additionally, she charged around $49,798 on the company credit card for personal use.
To cover up her actions, Billings created fake payment vouchers that she sent to MMC’s bookkeeper for inclusion in the company's ledger. Furthermore, on April 14, 2022, she filed a federal income tax return reporting an income significantly lower than what she actually earned through her fraudulent activities.
Billings was formally charged with wire fraud and making and subscribing a false tax return on April 2, 2025. She pleaded guilty on May 2, admitting to devising the scheme against MMC and underreporting her income on her tax return.
For the wire fraud charge alone, Billings could face up to 20 years in federal prison and three additional years for the tax charge. Each count also carries a potential fine of up to $250,000.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles Brown following an investigation by IRS Criminal Investigation.
