Gary Frank was sentenced to 17.5 years in prison following a guilty plea on charges related to his fraudulent business scheme.  Frank claimed to run a multi-million dollar company, Legal Coverage, Ltd., through which employers could offer legal services as part of their employee benefits package.  Based on these misrepresentations — in fact, the company had very little revenue — Frank obtained over $30 million in loans from financial institutions, which he used to fund his own extravagant lifestyle.  Frank was also ordered to pay restitution of $33.7 million.  USAO EDPA
