‘Queen of the Con’ found in Maine ordered to be extradited to Northern Ireland

Police had arrested Marianne Mair' Smyth at a rental home after a podcast on her crimes prompted a listener to reveal her location

A US-born woman who disguised herself as an heiress to a $30m fortune while scamming nearly $100,000 from a television producer - who later sent her to prison and documented her misdeeds on a hit podcast - has been ordered extradited to Northern Ireland on a separate set of fraud charges.

Marianne Mair" Smyth's extradition to the UK was authorized by John Nivision, a US federal magistrate judge, on Thursday, more than two months after she was arrested at a short-term rental home in Bingham, Maine, court records show.
