Trans crook gets 4 yrs. in senior scam

A transgender swindler who laims she was repeatedly aped in prison after her arrest eceived a 51-month sentence Thursday for scamming five enior citizens out of nearly $800,000.

Lorindo Powell, 30, offered an apology to her elderly victims before Brooklyn Federal Judge Margo Brodie handed down the jail term — and then offered her some sympathy.

Powell, a native of Jamiaca, said her own experiences across the last 18 months changed her view of the world.

“I am deeply sorry for what I’ve done to these people,” said Powell. “I have come to know what it feels like to be used, what pain feels like, and suffering. I can do better, and I will.”

Prosecutor Alexander Mindlin portrayed Powell as a callous criminal who wouldn’t hesitate to run a similar scam again. Her victims included a Maryland couple with dementia, a 79-year-old Brooklyn teacher, an 89-year-old Florida man and a 90-something woman living in a New Jersey retirement home.

The scams typically involved the promise of collecting nonexistent lottery winnings.

“What stuck out to me was the defendant’s absolute lack of remorse,” said Mindlin. “The public needs to be protected from Ms. Powell. Ms. Powell will do this again the second she gets out.”

The Christian Louboutinloving Powell and crime partner Tavoy Malcolm, 26, bankrolled their lavish lifestyle and love of pricey shoes by fleecing their elderly targets.

The Brooklyn woman was evicted from her home and lost $589,000, while the elderly couple was duped out of almost $120,000. Powell is also on the hook for $770,632 in restitution to her victims.

Powell, in a federal civil rights complaint filed last month, alleged that she was raped “countless times over” between May 2017 and January 2018 after her arrest and incarceration at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
