A 58-year-old man has been sentenced to 121 months in prison after he was found guilty for conspiracy to commit money laundering that involved Arizona seniors, federal authorities said.
U.S. District Judge Scott H. Rash sentenced Ivan Wilbur Seales, 58, a resident of New York and citizen of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, this month. Seales also was ordered to pay approximately $855,000 in restitution to the numerous victims who suffered a loss, according the Arizona district of the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
“Seales laundered nearly $1 million in proceeds for a fraud scheme network that preyed on elderly victims from around the country, including Arizona,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office stated in a release.
