Special Judge Dena Martin ordered former pastor Vaughn Reeves to serve
consecutive six-year terms for each of
nine fraud counts, in a scheme that cost about 2,900 investors $13.1 million
.[40] Among aggravating factors, Martin
found Reeves targeted people over age 65 and used religion to influence them
. Reeves’ attorney plans to appeal.
Investigators said Reeves and his three sons used their now-defunct company,
Alanar, to trick about 11,000 investors
into buying bonds worth $120 million secured by mortgages on church
construction projects.[41]
Instead, Reeves and his sons diverted money from new investments to pay off
previous investors, pocketing $6
million and buying luxuries. |
