Nevada woman sentenced to 10 years for $7M Ponzi scheme

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A federal judge sentenced a woman to 10 years in prison for orchestrating a $7 million Ponzi scheme and obstructing the government's investigation into it, a release from the Department of Justice said Monday. Anna Kline, formerly Jordana Weber, 35, of Sparks, Nevada, previously pleaded guilty to two counts of wire fraud. A federal judge sentenced her to 120 months in prison. The judge also ordered Kline to serve three years of supervised release and pay $3,403,000 in restitution. According to court documents, between April 2017 and July 2019, Kline owned and operated several shell companies that falsely offered lending services to customers, typically small business owners seeking high-value loans, often more than $100 million. As part of the scheme, Kline required that the victims pay up to 5% of the loan total amount as a 'fee' before it was funded. After the 'fee' was paid, Kline did not give the funding for the loan and gave the victims 'bogus' explanations for why the loans were delayed. Some victims were also given fake documents, including bank statements, that 'showed' the shell companies had sufficient money to fund the loan. During the scheme, Kline and her significant other used the 'fees' paid by the victim for their daily living expenses and numerous lavish purchases, including several luxury vehicles, high-priced artwork, and vacations. Some of the 'fees' were also used to pay back previous victims of the fraud. Documents show at least six victims transferred around $7 million to Kline. Kline was arrested on charges related to the scheme in July 2019. While released on bail, Kline provided the government documents that purported to be text messages from Kline's significant other, appearing to show threats toward Kline and insinuating that the partner was primarily responsible for the scheme. A forensic review of the document revealed it to be fake. Further investigation showed the Kline presented the fake report to a family court in California as part of a custody dispute between Kline and her partner. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

High-speed train project seeks time extensions on permits for Las Vegas station

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Brightline West is requesting a third extension on permits for its Las Vegas train station, but officials are calling it a formality. 'Construction is on time,' Antonio Castelan, director of public affairs for the L.A.-to-Las Vegas high-speed train project, told 8 News Now on Monday. A request on the June 11 agenda of the Enterprise Town Board seeks a number of extensions for permits, including retail sales, restaurants and outdoor dining for the project. The request also seeks waivers for the elimination of a buffer along Interstate 15 and an airspace encroachment. Renderings of the station have been released previously, but a design review is also part of the request on Tuesday's agenda to cover the passenger terminal and landscaping at the 110.7-acre site along the west side of Las Vegas Boulevard South, just north of Blue Diamond Road. The requests are heard first by the town board. If approved, they would advance to the Clark County Commission for consideration. That would be a zoning hearing on July 2, county officials said. 'This is a formality on permitting,' Castelan said. In early February, officials with the Nevada Department of Transportation said they expected construction on the train to begin within two months. Frequent reports sent to media outlets on engineering work along the I-15 median — where tracks for the high-speed electric train will go in — stopped in mid-January, and questions about Trump administration support for the project followed. Last week, federal transportation authorities threatened to pull funding for a high-speed rail project between L.A. and San Francisco, but Brightline West has not been targeted. In fact, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy complimented Brightline in February as 'on budget, on time.' Recent reports have indicated that officials no longer expect to begin service by the time the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles begin. 8 News Now reached out to Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft, but the county said he wouldn't comment until the matter comes before the commission. The station site is in his district. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

16 new vetoes boost Lombardo total to 49; HOA limits, price fixing bill rejected

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Gov. Joe Lombardo vetoed 16 more bills on Monday, including two that would have reined in powers wielded by HOAs — homeowners associations. He also vetoed a price-fixing bill. The Republican governor has now vetoed 49 bills passed by the Democrat-controlled Nevada Legislature, which adjourned in the early morning hours of Tuesday, June 3. Lombardo has 10 days after adjournment (excluding Sundays) to veto bills. Lombardo set a record after the 2023 legislative session, vetoing 75 bills. Veto messages reflected Republican principles — smaller government and pro-business laws — as Lombardo his decisions. Here's a closer look at some of the vetoes issued on Monday: PRICE FIXING: One of the vetoed bills, Assembly Bill 44 (AB44), was singled out as 'a striking case of government overreach.' AB44 would have granted the Nevada Attorney General the authority to investigate and prosecute pricing decisions involving an 'essential good or service,' a definition that Lombardo said threatened to cripple a wide range of businesses. Notably, Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, who presented the bill to lawmakers, is a Democratic candidate seeking to challenge Lombardo in 2026. When prices go up, whether it's eggs, gasoline or electricity, there is often a public outcry for government action. But Lombardo attacked the language of AB44 as subjective and a threat to free markets. JUNE 4: Lombardo vetoes 33 bills in days following Nevada Legislature, 229 signed HOA POWERS: Two bills that Lombardo vetoed involved HOAs. AB185 would have required HOAs to allow in-home daycare businesses to operate inside communities. Democrats who sponsored the bill said community rules were preventing more child care businesses from setting up. In his veto message on AB185, Lombardo said: 'It is important to note that people choose to live in HOA communities with the clear understanding that certain activities are governed by agreed-upon rules designed to protect the consistency of the neighborhood. AB 185 undermines that mutual understanding by allowing some owners to bypass long-standing community standards through legislative action.' Senate Bill 121 (SB121) was also rejected, with Lombardo stating that the choice to buy within an HOA community comes with responsibilities to maintain community standards. The bill would have limited landscaping and parking restrictions. It also would have given homeowners at least three years after purchase to bring landscaping up to community standards. The same bill would have prohibited fines for some oil stains. CAMPAIGN FUNDS: AB79 would have toughened restrictions on how campaign funds could be used and required reporting on how that money is spent. But Lombardo said he was vetoing it for other reasons. 'Though ensuring transparency in elections is an important goal, AB 79 contains provisions, some vague, that would make political involvement less feasible for many and lack sufficial judicial oversight,' according to his veto message. He said the bill needed to do a better job of defining what constitutes a 'spent' or 'unspent' contribution. PROTECTING PROSTITUTES: AB209 would have set up protections for sex workers meant to encourage them to report violent crimes. It hinged on the prostitute asking for medical attention. But Lombardo said the wording of the bill could create a loophole that gives them immunity for more than is intended. A sex worker could actually use a request for medical attention to invoke immunity. Further, AB209 undermines law enforcement and assumes police aren't trustworthy. ICE ACCESS IN SCHOOLS: Lawmakers sought to keep immigration enforcement out of schools, but Lombardo vetoed AB217. The bill would have prohibited school employees, public schools or school districts from allowing access for ICE agents. Lombard called it well-intentioned, but attacked it as an overreach on a number of levels, even saying the bill would make school grounds into 'sanctuary zones' 24 hours a day. SUMMARY EVICTIONS: AB283 would have changed the summary eviction process, requiring landlords to file the initial court complaint. Similar attempts during the 2023 legislative session were vetoed, and Lombardo held firm with a veto on Monday. He called it 'lopsided, red-tape laden' and predicted disastrous consequences on Nevada's housing market if it were to become law. EXECUTIONS IN NEVADA: SB350 would have extended the time frame for executing a prisoner who was sentenced to death from the current 90 days to a full year. The bill sponsor argued that 90 days wasn't enough time to properly challenge court rulings. 'Since rather than promoting fairness or finality, SB 350 threatens to undermine the very foundation of justice by creating endless delays that retraumatize victims' families and erode public confidence in our legal system, I cannot support it,' Lombardo said in his veto message.
