While inspecting the damaged house afterward, Madison remembered her grandmother once mentioning a hidden place in the attic. There, she discovered a secret safe containing evidence that Jasmine and Ryan had been running a massive fraud scheme using Madison\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"685\" data-end=\"961\">The files revealed they had stolen over $800,000 from elderly victims, opened accounts in Madison\u2019s name, forged her signature, and planned to frame her as the mastermind if authorities investigated. Her grandmother had secretly gathered proof before her death to protect her.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"965\" data-end=\"1287\">With help from an IRS investigator, Madison set up a trap by pretending there was another hidden inheritance. Jasmine and Ryan greedily returned to the house and openly confessed everything while being secretly recorded. Federal agents stormed in moments later and arrested them for fraud, identity theft, and elder abuse.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1291\" data-end=\"1539\">At trial, Jasmine was sentenced to five years in federal prison, Ryan received prison time as well, and their luxury purchases were seized to repay victims.
