SALT LAKE CITY â A man authorities described as a classic example of a Utah fraudster has been sentenced to 60 months in federal prison after admitting to defrauding victims out of more than $10 million.
Back in July, Thomas Robbins, 65, of Heber City plead guilty to securities fraud and money laundering for his part in a scheme that drew 66 investors into a fake foreign currency day-trading business.
Robbins lied to prospective investors, telling them he had developed an algorithm for foreign currency trading that saw average returns of up to 30 percent per month. Robbins also told people he had previously worked for a German bank and investors would never lose more than 5 percent of their equity.
