A Walnut woman faces up to 10 years in federal prison after she pleaded guilty this week to defrauding the United States Postal Service out of more than $150 million by affixing counterfeit stamps to packages shipped across the country, authorities said.

Lijuan “Angela” Chen, 51, pleaded guilty in federal court to one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and one count of use of counterfeit storage, U.S. Attorney’s Office spokesman Ciaran McEvoy said. Each count carries a possible maximum sentence of five years.
