Living a lavish lifestyle, complete with beautiful jewels andluxury-brand handbags, shoes, and cars, Devon Lynn Kile, of LaugunaHills, had big plans to appear on the TV show, “Real Housewives ofOrange County.”

Instead, the 42-year-old wannabe star has appeared many times inan Orange County court room after committing a state record of more than $30 million in workers' compensation insurance fraud.

|

Two years ago she traded her Prada for prison blues, while hercase was pending.

|

In April, she pleaded guilty to more than 70 felony counts,including misrepresenting facts to the State Compensation InsuranceFund and failing to file a return with the intent to evade tax.

|

On Dec. 1, she was sentenced to 10 years of probation. If she does not successfully complete her probation,she will be sentenced to 10 years in state prison, Superior CourtJudge Erick Larsh ordered.

In addition, Kile was ordered to pay $1.3million in restitution to the Employment Development Department and$1.5 million in restitution to the Franchise Tax Board. Therestitution to the state insurance fund is still to bedetermined, pending a decision by an appeals court on how much herhusband, co-defendant Michael Vincent Petronella, owes.

Petronella, 52, was sentenced in 2010 to 10 years in stateprison after being found guilty earlier that year of 33 felonycounts of insurance fraud and a sentencing enhancement.

|

He has been ordered to pay $500,000 in restitution to the stateinsurance fund. The district attorney, however, is appealing,seeking a higher amount to cover the millions of dollars in loss.

According to prosecutors, Petronella and Kile used theircompanies, which included clients such as the Ocean Institute, inDana Point, and the Pacific Amphitheater, in Costa Mesa, aspersonal piggy banks to support their lavish lifestyle.

Among the luxury items seized at the couple's home: $500,000 injewels, including Chopard and Rolex watches, and a 10-carat diamond ring valued at $70,000,Gucci, Chanel, Burberry, and other luxury-brand handbags and shoes,and two Ferraris, a Bentley, and a Range Rover.

Also seized during a raid was an application for Kile to appearon the “Real Housewives of Orange County.”

|

Prosecutors say Petronella and Kile, who owned three businessesin Costa Mesa and Cathedral City, including Petronella Roofing,underreported the number of employees and discouraged workers fromfiling claims.

Starting in 2000, the couple obtainedworkers' compensation insurance for their companies through thestate insurance fund. From 2000 through 2008, Petronellafraudulently submitted 42 claims for uninsured injured workers andunderreported $29 million in payroll to the fund to avoidpaying premiums.
