Instead, he transferred ownership to himself and his companies, resulting in significant financial losses for his victims. As a repeat offender, he faces significant prison time when sentenced in September 2025.
As a predicate felon (having prior convictions), the defendant is facing mandatory prison time when he's sentenced on Sept. 17, 2025.
