NEW YORK - The sole person convicted at trial of defrauding donors to an online campaign to build Donald Trump’s signature wall along the US-Mexico border was sentenced on Tuesday to 5¼ years in prison.
In sentencing Shea, 52, US District Judge Analisa Torres said he helped his co-defendants launder looted donor funds through shell companies, even as they claimed all the money was going to build the wall, and kept US$180,000 for himself. Prosecutors argued in court papers that he viewed the campaign as a “personal piggybank” and tried to deflect blame for his misconduct.
