Pair Sentenced for Roles in Business Email Fraud Scheme

Lynx-Zusammenfassung

The U.S. Department of Justice announced that Shelton and Olivia Oxley were sentenced in federal court in Abingdon, Virginia, after pleading guilty to a conspiracy involving bank and wire fraud in a business email compromise operation that stole over $1.5 million from victims nationwide. Oxley received a prison term of one year plus one day and three years under supervised release, while Shelton received 300 community-service hours and five years under supervised release; both facilitated transfers rather than led the scheme and were ordered to pay over $1.5 million in restitution to four victims, with liability shared jointly and severally with their coconspirators.
