A bank manager in New York who admittedly plotted to murder her brother-in-law on Facebook Messenger, sent thousands of dollars from a Western Union kiosk inside of a Walgreens, and texted the receipt on WhatsApp was sentenced to nearly a decade in federal prison on Tuesday, but not before she claimed to be a victim of a 25-year “harassment” campaign that started when she didn’t marry the man at age 15.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, Reshma Massarone, now 40, is looking at nine and a half years of federal prison time — 114 months, six months short of what the government sought — for the failed plot on her brother-in-law’s life between July 2023 and August 2023 after pleading guilty to the crime in mid-March.
