Former Oshkosh financial adviser charged with bilking elderly clients

A former financial adviser in Oshkosh already facing charges for stealing from her clients is being held on $1 million bail after she was charged with four additional counts of theft.

The new charges say that Jean Walsh-Josephson, 56, of Oshkosh, stole more than $475,000 from elderly clients.

Walsh-Josephson had been charged in August with theft and forgery involving a client's account at the Thrivent Financial in Oshkosh.

Oshkosh police, the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions and the Office of Commissioner for Insurance are continuing the investigation. Police say Thrivent Financial has contacted all of Walsh-Josephson's clients and the company is cooperating with the investigation.
