The Jurors of the Grand Jury of the State of Ohio, within and for the body of the County aforesaid, on their oaths, IN THE NAME
AND BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF OHIO, do find and present, that the above named Defendant(s), on or about the

This Enterprise functioned as a continuing unit by engaging in the diverse forms of illegal
activities, as stated in this Indictment. In so doing, the DEFENDANTS NAMED BELOW
are persons associated with the Enterprise who participated in and/or managed the affairs of
the Enterprise, as explained in this Indictment. As such, these persons provided continuity
and structure to the Enterprise in order to accomplish its illegal purposes – the pattern of
corrupt activity, as described below.

Beginning in August 2016, Zienup Sbeih-Maddox and her partner, Kimberly St.
John-Stevenson, created and operated a public Facebook page called “Zee’s
Place” that offered “too good to be true” deals on items such as diapers, toys, car
seats, and trips to Disney World. The page was targeted toward suburban moms
in search of bargains. Items were offered for sale on the Zee’s Place page;
individuals who wished to purchase an item communicated with Sbeih-Maddox
and/or St. John-Stevenson through Facebook Messenger and email to place their
orders; payment was made primarily via money orders, online payment apps, and
gift cards. Because of the bargain prices on the offered items, the community
grew by word of mouth; ultimately, at least 200 people made purchases from
Zee’s Place. Any new Zee’s Place customer received at least their first “bargain”
without any issue; however, upon ordering (and paying for) additional “bargains,”
Sbeih-Maddox and St. John-Stevenson failed to remit the purchased items,
instead offering delays and excuses and never returning the funds paid.

Sbeih-Maddox and St. John-Stevenson transferred proceeds of the orders back


and forth between multiple bank accounts to disguise the nature and origin of the
funds. As a result of this suspicious activity their accounts were closed by their
respective banks; at this point, Sbeih-Maddox and St. John-Stevenson recruited
Holly Freeman, Nicole Tesmer, and Lindsay Putnam to accept Zee’s Place
payments through their accounts and pass along the funds to Sbeih-Maddox and
St. John-Stevenson.

As word got around the Zee’s Place Facebook community that orders were going
unfulfilled and not refunded, Sbeih-Maddox erased all of her Facebook accounts.

A warrant was issued for Sbeih-Maddox’s arrest as a result of the Zee’s Place
transactions, as a result of which she fled to the western United States. While
Sbeih-Maddox was on the run, her sister, Kirsten Laurie, moved Zee’s Place

proceeds through her (Laurie’s) bank account to Sbeih-Maddox.

The Enterprise’s illegal activities are further illustrated and explained in the charged predicate
acts in this Indictment.

This Enterprise and the Persons Associated with the Enterprise were joined in purpose over a
period of time, although their various roles were different in order to accomplish the main
purposes of the Enterprise. These activities occurred with the knowledge and/or support of

Stevenson, Kirsten Laurie, Holly Freeman, Nicole Tesmer, Lindsey Putnam, the unregistered

Theft, and Money Laundering through a pattern of corrupt activity as defined in Section

activity, as defined in Section 2923.31(I)(2)(a) or (I)(2)(c) is a felony of the third degree or
higher (TELECOMMUNICATION FRAUD in COUNT THREE, THEFT in COUNT FOUR
and ALL COUNTS OF MONEY LAUNDERING) contrary to and in violation of Section
2923.32(A)(1) of the Ohio Revised Code, and thereby, this COUNT ONE, ENGAGING IN A
