  "account": "A 31-year-old American woman, Moniquie Love Turnbull, was arrested in Florida after allegedly posing as a bank representative at a senior citizen's home. Her alleged scheme involved obtaining debit cards from the elderly and hiding over US$3,200 (S$4,098.83) in her vagina. The Martin County Sheriff's Office reported that Turnbull attempted a \"brazen and dangerous scam\" by claiming the victims' accounts were compromised and she would handle the card disposal. Local police were alerted to another case identifying Turnbull as the suspect, leading to her arrest. Surveillance footage from Aug. 17 shows police pulling her over, handcuffing her, and informing her of the charges. Turnbull was charged with \"Scheme to Defraud, Felony Use of a Two-Way Communication Device, and Fraudulent Use of a Credit or Debit Card Without Consent involving a victim 60 years or older.\" The cash found in her private area was seized by police and marked with a biohazard sticker, with the money set to be returned to circulation once cleared. Turnbull faces additional charges for introducing contraband into a correctional facility and currently has a US$500,000 (S$640,442.13) bond.",
