United States Attorney William S. Thompson made the announcement and commended the investigative work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the United States Probation Office.
United States District Judge Frank W. Volk imposed the sentence. Assistant United States Attorneys Kristin F. Scott and Jennifer Rada Herrald handled the prosecution.
