A married team of "so called builders" is going behind bars in central Florida.
John and Deanna Barrington have been convicted in federal court on fraud charges, and tax evasion.
John will be dressed in prison overalls for a term of 14.5 years and his wife will don a fashionable womens prison outfit for 2.5 years for her part in the scheme.
These two swindled untold millions of dollars from unsuspecting would be home buyers. About 75 victims and their families are affected by these two people; the millions they have taken from the purchasers might never be found (I am sure the money is in some Swiss bank account somewhere across the Atlantic Ocean).
Barrington had legally changed his name from John Stuart Jakows to conceal his criminal history before launching his home-building scheme. "He ddeserved a stiff sentence."Assistant U.S. Attorney Roger Handberg told the judge on Monday.
Handberg also said that, in Barrington's pre-sentence report, "his own mom called him a con man."
When yer OWN mom comes out against you -- YOU'VE got problems!!
