Social media giant Facebook announced plans Wednesday to sell stock.

It’ll take three or four months to get it done but a Winnebago County, Wisconsin woman had a different timetable.
      
Prosecutors say Marianne Oleson sold the phony stock to at least five people. Investigators say they think she may have defrauded even more.

Fox's Bill Miston has the details.
