Fake heiress who stole $30 million from California banks added to FBI's Most Wanted Fraudsters list

Updated on: October 15, 2026 / 6:18 AM PDT / CBS LA

A 75-year-old woman has been added to the FBI's Most Wanted Fraudsters List for allegedly scamming California banks out of tens of millions of dollars nearly a decade ago.

Mary Carole McDonnell, of Missouri, has been on the run since she allegedly bilked banks in Los Angeles and Orange counties out of nearly $30 million in 2017 and 2018 while pretending to be the heiress of the McDonnell aircraft family. A reward of up to $150,000 has been offered for information leading to her arrest and conviction, the FBI said.

"McDonnell is alleged to have knowingly, and with the intent to defraud, devised and participated in a scheme to obtain money, funds, assets, and property owned by Banc of California," said McDonnell's listing on the newly formed Most Wanted Fraudsters List. "McDonnell falsely claims to be an heir to the McDonnell Aircraft Family, with an $80 million secret trust to which she will have access."

McDonnell is believed to be in Dubai and has ties to Southern California and Montgomery, Alabama.

Federal agents say that McDonnell used the scheme to fraudulently take $14.7 million from Banc of California, "which she knew she was not entitled and has not paid back." They also believe that she defrauded other financial institutions in a similar fashion, resulting in an estimated loss of $15 million.

In December 2018, federal prosecutors charged McDonnell with bank fraud and aggravated identity theft. An arrest warrant was issued at the same time.

McDonnell is described as standing 5-foot-7 and weighing approximately 145 pounds. She has blonde hair and blue eyes, and detectives say she has a notable scar on her right knee. The FBI said she may have changed her appearance over the years and has gone by several aliases, including Mary C. Caroll and Mary Carole Carroll, Mary Carol McDonnell, Mary Caroll McDonell and Mary Caroll McDonald.

"t's just a matter of time before McDonnell is caught as we work with our international partners to locate her. A generous reward is being offered in exchange for information leading to her apprehension and conviction, and a tip from the public might break the case," said a statement from FBI Los Angeles Assistant Director in Charge Patrick Grandy.

Federal investigators listed McDonnell's last known occupation as the chief executive officer of Bellum Entertainment, LLC, a Burbank-based television production and distribution company that made true crime shows. The company dissolved in 2017 due to undisclosed financial issues, which a CBS LA investigative story highlighted. During the investigation, employees said McDonnell did not pay them what they were owed.

Anyone who knows more about McDonnell's whereabouts was asked to contact their local FBI office or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate. Online tips can also be submitted at tips-fbi-gov

@MikeGarciaFWTX

I've known @jamestalarico for nearly 20 years. When we were at @UTAustin in 2009, he ran the University Democrats and I ran the College Republicans. Although we disagreed, I once considered him a friend. But then he betrayed the entire student body for his own political gain.

8:40 PM · Oct 15, 2026

Mike Garcia

@MikeGarciaFWTX

In 2009, the UT College Republicans and University Democrats teamed up to create "TUITION RELIEF NOW," an organization whose goal was to lower the rising tuition costs for UT system students. We had a huge rally on campus in support of the cause. @DanPatrick was even

@MikeGarciaFWTX

there (although he was still a state senator at the time). To our knowledge it was the first joint-event between our two groups. After, we planned to have an additional rally in support of tuition relief a few weeks later at the Texas Capitol as the Legislature was in session

@MikeGarciaFWTX

debating the issue. We were excited and all felt the momentum. Everything was working just as it should. At least on the issue of addressing rising tuition costs—one of the few issues we could actually agree upon—everyone was rowing in the same direction. But that didn't last.

@MikeGarciaFWTX

Just days before the Capitol rally, we received word that the University Democrats had changed their position on the issue of rising tuition and would no longer be participating in the rally. This was, to say the least, strange, surprising, and terribly disheartening to us.

@MikeGarciaFWTX

But he hadn't heard why, and James didn't communicate with us. So we began to investigate.

What we found out (through many angry and confused members of the University Democrats) was that Talarico *himself* had unilaterally reversed course without consulting his club or even

@MikeGarciaFWTX

the club's officers. He betrayed not only the student body, but the organization he led as well.

Why would he do this? We were baffled. What we heard was that he pulled support so that he, himself, could stay in the good graces of the university's leadership, who opposed

@MikeGarciaFWTX

tuition cuts. And lo and behold, he was rewarded the next year with the cushy position of executive director of UT's student government, who had close ties to university leadership.

A few years went by. I was serving as the general counsel for the Texas House Freedom Caucus,

@MikeGarciaFWTX

and James had been elected to the House. He started fine. He seemed sincere. But quickly, he devolved to routinely spending hours on the House floor avoiding genuine discussions, favoring instead to accuse us of racism. Then, when the cameras stopped

@MikeGarciaFWTX

rolling, I'd run into him in the Capitol hallway, and he'd see me and go off about how good it is to see me and wishing me well, all with a smile on his face, knowing full well who I worked for.

Every interaction I had with him after that reinforced to me how fake he actually

@MikeGarciaFWTX

is, and how willing he is to lie to satisfy his political ambitions.

Now, he's lying again, claiming he has a moderate voting record. But this time there's an abundance of evidence showing that isn't the case. But worse than that, in my opinion, is his consistent betrayal.

@MikeGarciaFWTX

None of us will be immune to Talarico's habit of betrayal if he wins. He betrayed his own people for political gain, and you should know that he will not hesitate to do the same to all of us for his own political ambitions (which I guarantee you do not stop at the U.S. Senate).

@MikeGarciaFWTX

Please believe me when I say that James Talarico has planned for this campaign for his entire life. He will not let the truth get in the way of his political career.

What's important to James Talarico is himself. Not you, not me, and not Texas. He threw his own

@MikeGarciaFWTX

University Democrats to the wolves in the past and you can rest assured that he will do the same to all of us, regardless of our political affiliations.

@MikeGarciaFWTX

And he'll do it all with a smile on his face, telling you that he's preaching the Gospel.

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves." – Matthew 7:15

‘What the F*ck Are You Doing?!’ Joe Rogan Goes on Nuclear Rant Against Democrats to Democratic Actor Michael Douglas

Sean James

Oct 14th, 2026, 3:39 pm

Joe Rogan went on an all-guns-blazing rant against the Democratic Party while talking to actor and lifelong Democrat Michael Douglas, with Rogan venting that he was thoroughly disgusted with the Dems because of their “insane” approach to illegal immigration, the party “pushing” Covid-19 vaccines, and his belief that the party forced Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton on the masses.

He also suggested behind-the-scenes puppet masters orchestrated the government while ex-President Joe Biden was in office, since his mental acuity was so shot.

Rogan went on his rant during the Wednesday episode of his podcast. He got worked up after Douglas asked him about his past support for socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) — support which Rogan yanked last month.

When the two started talking about how Rogan has shown support for both major parties over the years, Rogan then told the Falling Down actor why he was disillusioned with the Democrats.

“First of all, the open border was INSANE,” Rogan said. “It was insane to just not only leave the border open, but give people instructions on how to get in and also to transport them to cities and put them up in hotels. It was really clear that a game was being played. You can speculate all you want as to what that game was — was it for cheap labor, was it to turn these people into citizens and have them permanently voting your side?I don’t know what it is. But it was something.”

Rogan continued, “If you want me to be a Democrat while you’re just letting people fly in, I’m like ‘Hey! Fix that! It seems crazy to have 10 million people of unknown origin enter into your country over a period of four years.”

Douglas seemed to agree with Rogan, letting out the occasional “yeah, yeah” as he got more animated.

Rogan then listed his other issues with the Dems, which included “the fact that they haven’t had a primary since 2012.”

He said:

If it’s like, “We have to win, so we’re just going to push that aside, and here’s your candidate!”

What the f*ck are you doing? That’s not how it’s supposed to be done, and if you want me to vote for that — I’m not going to vote for that. That seems crazy. That seems dangerous.

You know Biden wasn’t the f*cking president for four years. It’s really clear his mental ability was severely declined.

Rogan added he was not a fan of the Democratic “coercion” when it came to Covid vaccines and regulations.

“It was all crazy!” he said, as he waved his arms around.

His issues with the Dems led him to support President Donald Trump, he said. But Rogan said he hasn’t been happy with some of the stuff Trump has done, either, like launching the Iran war — something he’s complained aboutseveral times on his show this year.

BBC licence fee to be extended with ‘YouTube tax’ to force more to pay

The government is set to unveil plans to extend the BBC licence fee to online streaming services in what is unofficially being dubbed a “YouTube tax”.

A white paper on the BBC charter renewal will be published before Christmas and will include proposals on how to overhaul the current license fee.

The BBC thinks it's going to get license fee payments for watching YouTube. I understand the fee when the BBC are producing the content but they don't own YT or Netflix and Disney and they want to tax you for viewing other companies content?

YT is a better public service than the BBC ever was.

I would argue that YT is a better public service than the BBC full stop.

US Midterm Elections Won't Stop US Wars - How the Political Circus Ensures Continuity of Agenda

US midterm elections are designed specifically to distract people away from the entirely unelected corporate interests driving US foreign and domestic policy regardless of who voters choose;

This is an established reality spanning the entirety of the 21st century with compelling emotional narratives overriding the public's ability to employ logic and see this;

The US is not "suspending" support to Ukraine but simply engaging in manufacturing plausible deniability ahead of further escalations against Russia, Iran, and China;

Understanding a problem is paramount to solving it, just like understanding how US policy is actually advanced vs. how it is portrayed across the media is essential to changing or stopping it;

They Finally Said It Out Loud

Nat Con Jerusalem telegraphed an imminent renegotiation of the US and UK's relationship with Israel, on new grounds of reciprocal nationalism. Jonathan Keeperman and William Wolfe explained that the post-War consensus is dying, and America is “a war-weary nation”. The unpopularity of dispensationalist theology, and repudiation of neoconservative foreign policy by repeated failures to regime-build in the Middle East, make them unreliable guarantors of prosperity for either America or Israel.

If Israelis want a healthy relationship with the Anglosphere and Europe, they need to treat them as self-confident, demographically secure countries, without the suspicion that they will someday, for no reason at all, morph into Adolf Hitler.

That means, as Gadi Taub said on stage, both Israel and the Jewish diaspora must stop pushing for third-world migration and an "Open Society" in those countries. They must stop misusing pejoratives like "racist" and "antisemite" — which no longer work, because the consequences of complying with censorship are worse than being called these names. They should support ethnic and national self-confidence for those countries, because the double standard of nationalism for Israel but not for White nations is not compelling to a generation of young patriots like me, who face unprecedented demographic insecurity. We respond to strength, not being browbeaten for historical atrocities we didn't commit.

But should support for Israel be our concern? How sincere were the speakers at Nat Con Jerusalem? Can Israeli Ministers like Bezalel Smotrich be trusted when he tells Nat Con, "There is no justification for demanding that Western countries absorb Middle Eastern populations again and again," when he said in September, "if every country in Europe was willing to take 20,000 - 30,000 [Palestinians] that would have been the end of the matter"?

This renegotiation has unresolved issues. Some involved still have some way to go to establish trust and consistency. But I commend everyone involved in Nat Con for hosting these conversations.

A Democratic House will cripple the Administration with endless investigations. More importantly, the American Right, every faction of it, from the GOP, to MAGA, the Dissident Right, to most of the vanguard, is characterized by a fundamental lack of seriousness. Everyone is expecting the future to look like the past, and there’s an attitude of we will get them next time. Well, we won’t. Time has run out.

(VIDEO) White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia Addresses Claims She Lied About Being a Lawyer

By Jordan Conradson Oct. 15, 2026

White House Katie Zacharia opened up on Thursday about a recent controversy surrounding her resumé as the media tries to spin it into a scandal, claiming she lied about being an “attorney.”

We have not found evidence that Zacharia has ever presented herself as a practicing attorney.

Still, immediately after her first press briefing on Tuesday, the knives were out, with the left-wing media smearing her for her performance and questioning whether she is indeed a lawyer.

CNN quickly published a story with the headline, “Katie Zacharia presented herself as a lawyer. She’s not.”

CNN and other left-wing outlets have been losing it ever since, claiming she lied about being a lawyer.

However, the term lawyer is often used as a broad term for someone who earned their Juris Doctor (JD) degree, while an attorney is a lawyer who has passed the bar exam and is licensed to practice. In simple terms, a lawyer is someone who has studied law and earned a degree, and an attorney is licensed to practice law. It’s a square-versus-rectangle debate that the media is sensationalizing.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Zacharia sat for the bar exam in 2011, all while planning a wedding and planning a move to China with her soon-to-be husband, but did not pass.

CNN reports that “Zacharia said in a statement she had ‘practiced international transactional law, with all the appropriate credentials.’ She told the New York Times that she consulted with Pepperdine’s president about how to identify herself, and that she was told not to use ‘attorney’ or ‘esquire,’ but that ‘lawyer’ was OK.”

Likewise, she told Real America’s Voice’s Jack Posobiec during an interview on Thursday, “I consulted, for a very long time, many people in the field: Is it okay and acceptable if I label myself lawyer, not attorney at law, not Katie Zachariah Esquire, but lawyer, and provide legal analysis, not legal advice?”

“And they said absolutely across the board. You can call yourself a lawyer. You have a JD, and to buffer that, you have international legal experience in transactional law, which gives you the ability to analyze it, not necessarily give advice, and so that’s where a lot of this discussion has come from,” she continued.

“It’s unfortunate that people dub this as some kind of conspiracy or want to put me in a camp. The truth is, I was very careful how I executed this, and I never came across as someone who was an attorney at law.”

Asked whether she would weigh in on legal matters in the White House or provide legal consultation to President Trump, Zacharia responded, “No, no. For the press secretary, my job is to amplify and communicate his message and to interact with the press and build relationships and strengthen relationships and communicate clearly the message of the administration, and I only intend to do that.”

“I’m not being hired as White House counsel, and that’s the long and the short of that.”
