A Joplin woman who helped con artists who were running an online romance scam was sentenced to 21 years in prison during a sentencing hearing this morning in U. S. District Court in Springfield.
Bonnie Henning, 62, will be allowed to self-surrender January 6. When her sentence is completed, she will be on supervised release for three years.
According to court documents, Henning laundered more than $302,960 between July 2020 and August 2022.
Initially, the money went through Henning at her home address, but after she was warned by the FBI in 2021 that what she was doing was illegal, she had the money sent through an elderly neighbor.
