| Subject: Busted: Former corrections officer sentenced in nearly $9 million behind-bars fraud scheme Thu Jun 14, 2018 1:21 am | |
| Former federal corrections officer Michael Mazar was sentenced Wednesday morning to five years in prison for his role in a nearly $9 million jail-based fraud scheme run by legendary Miami con man Jimmy Sabatino.
Mazar, 39, turned himself in to authorities, along with all the items from the fraud that he still had in his possession in April 2017 and has been cooperating since. He pleaded guilty to mail and wire fraud conspiracy for his role in the scheme on March 6.
At his sentencing Wednesday, Mazar was remorseful.
"I didn't mean for any of this to happen," he said. "And I was too embarrassed to tell anybody."
