Disbarred attorney sentenced for role in Southeast Queens deed theft crew: AG

Disbarred attorney Anyekache Hercules was sentenced Friday in Queens Supreme Court to one-and-a-half to three years in prison for her role in a deed theft crew that stole homes in St. Albans and Jamaica that were owned by elderly or disabled Southeast Queens residents or their families.

New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that Hercules assisted the leader of the crew, Marcus Wilcher, and his associates in stealing and selling three homes, which yielded more than $1 million in illegal profits. Hercules pleaded guilty in May to Scheme to Defraud in the first degree.
