A woman accused by scam victims of crisscrossing the U.S. claiming to be an Irish heiress will now learn next month whether she will be extradited to the United Kingdom. Fifty-four-year-old Marianne Smyth will be in federal court in Maine for the hearing that relates to allegations she stole more than $170,000 from at least five victims from 2008 to 2010 in Northern Ireland. Government officials say Smyth stole money that she had promised to invest and arranged to sell a victim a home but took the money. In a court filing, Smyth’s attorney argued she is not guilty of the charges.
