Good, facing a lengthy prison sentence for defrauding many. I'd say that's fair.

I have absolutely no pity for him.

I hope he rots in jail, along with his many friends and relatives, because defrauding

anyone out of anything is not a game I've ever played, or intended to play.

White collar crimes, like the one that failed him are not normally picked up from the street.

He had to have a significant upbringing or training, in his doomed craft.

Just looking at him, I woul... [ More ]

Some of the elderly spend years alone and lonely. They hope to get a phone call from family but it never comes. They are then easy targets for criminals. The criminals call and call and make conversation with them. Then the con-job begins.

An extradition is a powerful tool.

There are 90 victims who lost approx $5.7 million. No way are they ever going to be made close to whole again no matter what kind of sentence he is given. It's terrible when the elderly are preyed upon.

Sell the mansion and every other thing he owns and pay those people back he scammed. Takes a really heartless person to steal from the elderly.

First of all none of them should get a light sentence.

They all should rot in prison.

Second what is wrong with people falling for these idiots games.

Older should be wiser !!!

U want to help your kids and grandkids future.

Look out for yourself first !!

They will spend whatever they get more likely go threw it like water.

Speaking from an elderly person like myself.

Full restitution to all those elderly folks then 5 years probation. No jail time because then the taxpayers feed and house this criminal.

Put all of them somewhere in hard labor until all of that money that they took from the elderly is paid back, plus 10 years

A Jamaican man accused of masterminding a lottery scam that defrauded dozens of mostly elderly Americans out of millions of dollars has pleaded guilty to conspiracy, and a federal prosecutor says more defendants in the case might do the same.

Lavrick Willocks, 28, reached an agreement with federal prosecutors in North Dakota earlier this month and appeared in court Thursday to enter his plea. Prosecutors dropped 65 other counts of wire fraud, mail fraud and money laundering.
