Sherrie Billings, 53, pled guilty to wire fraud and submitting a fraudulent tax return, according to US Attorney Robert J. Troester.
According to court documents, Billings, a former regional property manager for Manhattan Management Corporation, LLC (MMC) in New York, cheated the corporation while overseeing four Oklahoma City apartment complexes. Between January 2017 and July 2022, Billings issued approximately 385 unlawful checks, which resulted in her illegally taking $1,660,238 from MMC’s account. She also used the company credit card for personal purchases, robbing MMC of roughly $49,798.
To disguise her actions, Billings generated false payment vouchers for real merchants and forwarded them to MMC’s bookkeeper, who put them in the corporate ledger. Furthermore, on April 14, 2022, she submitted a federal income tax return declaring income that was significantly lower than what she actually obtained from her illegal actions.
Billings was charged on April 2, 2025, and pleaded guilty on May 2, 2025, confessing to creating a plot to defraud MMC and filing a false tax return.
Billings faces up to 20 years in federal prison for wire fraud and three years for tax evasion, as well as a $250,000 fine per count.
