SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – A former western South Dakota lawyer accused in a trust account scheme has pleaded not guilty to 30 counts of wire fraud, ten counts money laundering and one count of bank fraud.
Forty-eight-year-old Rena Hymans, of Vale, appeared in federal court Monday.
She was indicted last week by a federal grand jury.
Authorities say Hymans devised a scheme to transfer money from a client trust account to her own business and personal accounts.
The alleged fraud took place between June 2017 and January 2020. A trial date has not been set.
