Bank records connect star sprinter Marion Jones to an alleged check-counterfeiting scheme that led to criminal charges against her coach and ex-boyfriend Tim Montgomery.:shakeno:
Documents filed in a federal court in Manhattan show a $25,000 check made out to Jones was deposited in her bank account from a Virginia man whom prosecutors have accused of enlisting friends and business partners to help launder the proceeds of the multimillion-dollar plot.
The money was drawn on an account established with one of $5 million worth of stolen, forged or doctored checks that investigators said the conspiracy attempted to cash over three years. The five-time Olympic gold medalist has not been charged with any wrongdoing, and prosecutors initially took pains to keep her name out of the case.
In an indictment unsealed in April she was referred to as a "close associate of Timothy Montgomery."
Her name subsequently surfaced in court filings in late June by one of the defense attorneys.
