A Maryland man has been sentenced to eight years in federal prison following a scheme that defrauded more than a hundred elderly people. A federal jury convicted Keno Romario Brown, 26, of Hyattsville, in March 2020 of mail and wire fraud over a lottery scheme. The judge ordered Brown to pay $775,225 in restitution, as well. In what prosecutors called a “heartless scheme,” Brown and two co-conspirators started contacting victims in April 2013 and identified themselves as representatives of a company. Brown told the victims that they won a lottery or sweepstakes sponsored by the company, but in order to collect the prize, the victims had to pay fees and taxes in advance.
