Why are people so stupid to even think they won that large amount without checking it out.

This has been going on for years and people still fall for it.

I agree these guys don't even deserve prison time.

That's to easy and let the working people pay for them in prison.

No they need the electric chair.

Get rid of them off the earth period

Correct me if I'm wrong, but to the best of my knowledge crimes that involve drug runnings do end up with the government possessing everything. Proud of my KSP for their handling of this.

Too bad the Gov't can't scam the scammers by offering no jail time if all of the money is returned and then lock them away anyway

It's my limited understanding that the sentencing runs concurrent ..so each charge is not it's own term,but lumped together as 5 years total for the 5 charges...and the restitution will proceed after they are returned to society. What the govt should have done is ceased all property/bank account . Then given its liquidated value to the victims. But! We are talking about our govt. Not to smart on using common sense.

You're absolutely right. There will be no restitution unless they still have the money somewhere. Saw the pictures of these snip s. They could get up to 400 years in prison if convicted.

I wonder if they are going to pay the restitution before they are sentenced. If each count gets reduced to 5 years from 20, that's still 100 years. Now if it gets reduced to 2 or less they may eventually get out.

I guarantee you though, they are not the only ones pulling that scam either.

Restitution rarely even gets paid back. These gents even scammed the justice system . These criminals won when all is a said and done.

Just give them 50 year s each be done with it. That would put them right up there with other octogenarians.

Daniel Archer and Mathew Archer have learned how the wheels of Justice grind slowly.

Great law enforcement from all sides. Well done by the daughter.

These scammers went for big money, I was expecting to read $10,000 or so in fees but they went for the juglar, wow. Cowards like these need prison time. If they are paying restitution of over $700,000 how much did they scam people out of? Thank goodness for the stepdaughter but the stepmother is still out a significant amount of money, I wonder if and how much she will get back

You have to wonder why they didn't learn that: Crime Doesn't Pay

Brothers admit guilt in lottery scam

Two siblings from Maryland who convinced multiple local residents to pay taxes and fees in advance of collecting on nonexistent lottery winnings entered guilty pleas Thursday in federal court.

Daniel Archer, 29, and Matthew Archer, 28, each pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Bowling Green to 20 counts of wire fraud.

The two men accepted plea agreements in which they will pay $728,442.18 in restitution.

Each count of wire fraud carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, but
