Put her in the ring with parents!
The head of a German immersion preschool in brownstone Brooklyn was arrested Wednesday for embezzling nearly $3 million in tuition — and blowing thousands on tickets to pro wrestling matches and luxury travel, according to a new federal indictment.
Murielle Misczak, the director of Kinderhaus Brooklyn on Sixth Avenue and Ninth Street in Park Slope, pulled a stone cold stunner when she allegedly spent at least $350,000 in swiped cash on tickets to exclusive WWE matches, some of which she bragged about on Instagram, according to a federal indictment released Wednesday.
Misczak, a Swiss citizen, is accused of funneling a total of $2.75 million in tuition fees to her own bank account “for her own personal use and benefit” between January 2022 and October 2025, the indictment states.
“[She] took frequent trips and vacations across the country – often every other weekend – enjoying plush resorts, VIP access to WWE events, and first class amenities, much of which she documented on her public Instagram and other social media accounts,” according to a lawsuit filed against her by the school in December.
Her WWE splurges included VIP backstage passes to at least one wrestling event, where she and her three kids were able to meet the star wrestlers, according to a law enforcement source.
Misczak allegedly blew $650,000 on travel and entertainment, $150,000 on food delivery services, and hundreds of thousands of dollars on high-end luxury goods, the federal authorities said.
She covered up the theft by “manipulating” the school’s internal accounting system to falsely show that the payments had been deposited into the school’s bank account — then deleted emails that would have revealed the scheme, according to the indictment.
Misczak, who earned a paltry $40,000 annually from the school, was living far beyond her means as she paid for two apartments in Park Slope that cost her a total of $36,000 per-year, according to the lawsuit, filed in Brooklyn civil court.
“When [the school] inquired about her lavish lifestyle, [she] falsely claimed that she was the beneficiary of substantial funds from her mother in Basel, Switzerland. Of course, this purported beneficiary was a ruse,” the suit states.
It wasn’t immediately clear how Misczak was eventually busted, but the school’s principal learned about the scheme in October 2025 and “was forced to use her own personal savings to meet Plaintiff’s payroll and operational obligations,” the suit states.
Misczak was hired by the preschool in 2013 and rose ranks to become director in 2020. It is unclear why she is so enthusiastic about professional wrestling.
She’s charged with wire fraud, money laundering and “Engaging in Monetary Transactions in Criminally Derived Property.”
“My client looks forward to a fair resolution of this matter in court,” Misczak’s lawyer, Lowell Sidney, told The Post Wednesday.
