Mighty big checks

Here's a partial list of some of the large checks that Lola wrote for various scams. I found them in check registers and verified them against statements from two banks and other records. This list is by no means exhaustive. Most checks ultimately went to Canada, some in the form of wire transfers; an exception is $15000 to the alleged Banco de Costa Rica. Note that some of the payee's names resemble those of well-known companies, possibly to gain the trust of the scam victim.
