on september 8, 2013, marks was convicted of all fourteen federal crimes she had been charged with. the charges were one count of conspiracy to commit mail/wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, two counts of mail fraud, two counts of money laundering, six counts of wire fraud and two counts of filing false income returns. schwartz said she will appeal on several grounds, including "government misconduct" by investigators who failed to record interviews with victims. us magistrate judge james hopkins had previously criticized the government's conduct but felt it did not meet criteria for dismissal of the case. mistakes initially made in presenting the case to the grand jury were serious enough to require presentation to a second grand jury. in an unusual ruling, hopkins ordered that portions of the transcript of the grand jury testimony, normally secret, be made available to the defense. among the concerns raised were the use of the term "gypsy" as an ethnic stereotype and the inclusion of victims who had not been interviewed including one who insisted he had never been victimized. the indictment handed down was the fourth version.
