An Instagram influencer — and self-proclaimed “con artist” — flaunted her way to a federal guilty plea.

Native New Yorker Danielle Miller, 32, admitted Monday the luxurious lifestyle she bragged about on TikTok and Instagram was funded with more than $1 million in stolen COVID-relief loans, federal prosecutors said.

Miller pleaded guilty to fraudulently obtaining $1.5 million in government funds by swiping the identities of more than 10 people, according to the the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts.

The Horace Mann graduate — who has more than 34,000 followers on Instagram — then brazenly publicized pricey items she bought via the fraud scheme, the feds said. She posted about a trip in a private jet and zooming in a Rolls-Royce with a Louis Vuitton bag by her side.

Miller was sentenced to state prison in another fraud case in Florida last October. The allegations against her were detailed in a Feb. 2022 New York Magazine profile.

John Wayne was an influencer in his time encouraging people to smoke cigarettes something that was known to be harmful. People do dumb things, illegal things, even the Duke did dumb things, why are we surprised by people today pulling scams. I’m not, it’s just another day, same crap.
