'Evil Clown-Masked Robber' Convicted, Could Face 55-Years

District Attorney Jan Scully announced today that Vanna Sisounthone was convicted by jury of three counts of robbery, two counts of attempted robbery, two counts of false imprisonment and one count of assault with a firearm. The jury also found true that Sisounthone discharged the firearm during one robbery and used a firearm during all other crimes. 
The charges stemmed from three armed robberies that occurred in January 2012. Sisounthon, who wore an “evil clown mask” during all three crimes, robbed multiple convenience store employees and patrons. During the first robbery, he fired the gun, narrowly missing a patron. 

On January 21, 2012, he entered the Better Trade Market armed with a handgun. He immediately demanded money from the cashier and then pointed the gun at 77-year-old Beldev Dhillon. Mr. Dhillon, a retired police officer from India, immediately grabbed for the gun. He missed the gun, but was able to grab the mask from Sisounthone’s head. After a brief struggle, Sisounthone fled the market, leaving the mask behind. The Sacramento County District Attorney’s Crime Lab was subsequently able to determine that the DNA found on the mask matched Sisounthone’s DNA. 

Sisounthone faces a maximum potential sentence of 55 years, 4 months in state prison. Sentencing is set for September 19, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. in Department 17 before the Honorable Ernest Sawtelle.

After a nine-day trial, a federal jury found Anna Sorokina Kuzmenko, 33, of Sacramento, guilty today of two counts of wire fraud in a mortgage fraud scheme, United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced. The trial was held before United States District Judge John A. Mendez.

According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, in February of 2007 Kuzmenko served as a straw buyer for a house in Carmichael. She applied for two loans to finance the entire purchase, and falsely represented that she was an orthodontist making $36,000 per month, had $42,000 in her bank account, was a United States citizen, and would live in the house she was purchasing. In fact, evidence at trial showed that Kuzmenko was not an orthodontist, declared only $13,000 in income for 2006 and none for 2007, had little to no money in her bank account, was not a citizen, and never lived in the house she purchased.


The evidence also showed that although the bank was told the sales price was $1 million, the seller had agreed to receive only approximately $800,000 from the transaction and to give the remaining money back to the scheme participants. Bank records showed that Kuzmenko’s husband and other family members received almost $177,000 through the scheme. Additionally, two of Kuzmenko’s family members received approximately $25,000 in commission payments based on the fraudulently procured loans. Kuzmenko defaulted on the mortgages for the Carmichael house in September 2007 and the property was foreclosed upon by April 7, 2008.


“Mortgage fraud cases can be very challenging, but this office has developed considerable expertise in prosecuting them,” stated U.S. Attorney Wagner. “We are pleased that the jury held Ms. Kuzmenko accountable for her crime, and we will continue our efforts to hold accountable those who enriched themselves through fraud, and who contributed to the financial meltdown that hit our communities so hard.”

This case is the product of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation. Assistant United States Attorneys Lee S. Bickley and Todd A. Pickles are prosecuting the case. Kuzmenko is scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Mendez on December 9, 2014. She faces a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
