A series of fraud and scam cases have resulted in multiple prison sentences across the United States. A former mortgage broker involved in a decadelong fraud scheme that defrauded over a dozen people of $8 million and caused over $3 million in tax losses was recommended to serve 12 and a half years in prison. In Utah, two men were part of a four-man scheme that over eight years defrauded dozens of people out of millions of dollars, receiving multi-year prison sentences. Additionally, the former head of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission was sentenced to four years in prison. A particularly heinous case involved a California woman who scammed nearly $4 million from vulnerable wealthy individuals. Her crimes included the murder of a man whose body she dismembered and disposed of in San Francisco Bay to conceal her theft of his estate, leading to a 20-year prison sentence.
