Lisa Smith was charged in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, No. 1:24-cr-00469-KMW, by a criminal information filed July 17, 2024 with one count of conspiracy in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1349 to execute a scheme to defraud a financial institution identified as Lender-1.

A forfeiture allegation under 18 U.S.C. § 982(a)(2) accompanies the count. The page also carries a plea agreement and a consent judgment and order of forfeiture, both filed July 17, 2024, whose text is not extractable; no sentence appears on the page.
