90 Day Fiance’s Leida Margaretha is facing two felony charges related to alleged identity theft, only months after the tragic death of her newborn, Us Weekly can exclusively report.
On Monday, September 22, Wisconsin prosecutors filed court documents accusing Margaretha, 36, of making fraudulent transactions with her employers’ money between September 1, 2023, through October 6, 2023.
Per the filing, in October 2023, a detective from the City of Portage Police Department was investigating Margaretha. A local business, where the reality star worked, claimed they discovered she had been using customer banking information to pay her own bills or to pay the bills of a company she co-owned called Proud American Logistics.
The detective spoke to execs from the company, who said Margaretha was a part-time temporary employee who was assisting with bookkeeping. The exes believed Margaretha was also making fraudulent transactions using the company’s checking account.

The company said Margaretha was not given access to customers’ banking information and should not have had the company’s bank account information. They realized later she had organized all the checks the company had received and were concerned she may have obtained customer information from the checks.
Per the filing, the company claimed the first red flag was a $500 charge to the company’s checking account for the convenience store Kwik Trip. The company then discovered a second charge to Kwik Trip.

The company called Kwik Trip’s corporate offices and learned that the two fraudulent charges were made by a company called Proud American Logistics. Another employee at the company informed the execs that Margaretha had a company with the same name.
One exec asked Margaretha if she knew about Proud American Logistics but she initially claimed she was not familiar with the business. The exec said Margaretha showed up at the office 20 minutes later and was “excited and wondering if [the company] was going to do business with Proud American Logistics.”
The exes said no and explained the fraudulent charges on the company account. Per the report, the exes told officers Margaretha did not react, but she continued to seem excited and display odd behavior over the mention of that company.” Eventually, Margaretha allegedly admitted to having ties with Proud American, which she said was a startup transportation company.

The exes told officers that during work, Margaretha did “strange things” such as “going out to her vehicle to use her laptop or cell phone when she was provided with a computer there to do all her work on.” When confronted, Margaretha allegedly told her bosses she was required to check in with the temp agency that helped her get the job. The exes called the temp agency which denied that Margaretha was required to check in.
An officer questioned Margaretha about the allegations. The report said she made “several excuses” and claimed it must have been a “mixed-up.” The officer told her that was not possible because she should not have had access to the customer or company banking information.
The filing said, “[Margaretha] continued to say it was a mix up but eventually said this was wrong and that she needed to make it right and take care of the situation.” Margaretha told officers they were “not wrong” when they asked her about the Kwik Trip transactions.
