Frisco couple sentenced to 40 years for pyramid fraud scheme

Had to google names to see photos of them. I wish all news articles would add images of the criminals. I hope the victims get their money back somehow.

@xAyeikax : Here's the image...apparently they were "reality TV" stars a while back.40 years is a long time to think about their decisions...

500 credits sent!
@Jjj tipped @KiNg 500 credits for a post in this forum discussion.

@KiNg: is it sad that I thought pyramid schemes did not exist anymore? I thought that was a 1980-1990 thing.

@xAyeikax : While the sentence was only recently handed down but there was a $10.76M judgement against them in 2023.Some news reported it was a $25M fraud some said $30M. Supposedly members signed up and paid $1,400 to be "Blessed In No Time" and there were ~8,000 victims so that made about $11.2M.The Office of Attorney General (OAG) asked for a $10.76M judgement but the defendants are only required to pay up to $2.5M or a min. of $450,000.I think some of the early members got paid when they recruited new members. The $10.76M judgement was probably to pay other members. Not sure if they OAG was able to recover the money.www.texasattorneygen eral.gov/news/releas es/texas-oag-secures -1076-million-j

@TownHubAdmin @Jjj : @Jjj thanks for the credit boost. You will be "Blessed in No Time."
