Paul Manafort's former son-in-law has been sentenced in Los Angeles to nine years in prison for pulling a series of schemes totaling more than $13 million, including one that bilked $3 million from actor Dustin Hoffman
LOS ANGELES — Paul Manafort's former son-in-law has been sentenced in Los Angeles to nine years in prison for pulling a series of schemes totaling more than $13 million, including one that bilked $3 million from actor Dustin Hoffman.
"This is an individual who has an evil mind — I don't know how else to say it," the judge said."It seems he felt he could do whatever he wants - but that buck stops here." Prosecutors said Yohai persuaded Hoffman and his son Jacob to invest in a real estate project, but he used their money for personal expenses and to pay debts.
"Defendant has done tremendous damage to a huge number of victims," Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Brown wrote in a court filing. Yohai"has shown an almost unbelievable compulsion to defraud others, to the point that he could not stop even while awaiting this court's judgment on him in the first case, which strongly suggests that he will continue on his criminal path despite having been blessed with so many advantages.
