Rasheeda M. Canty, 35, faces up to 30 years in prison, but will likely receive between three or four years in imprisonment under the federal sentencing guidelines, prosecutors said. At a federal court in Washington on Friday, Canty admitted that the plot cost her victims more than $1 million and she promised to pay the government more than $340,000 she received in commissions on the fraudulent transactions.
