SALT LAKE CITY â Four men, including two from Utah and two from California, have all been sentenced in connection with a telemarketing scheme that promised investors they had the technology to extract gold from dirt.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, most of the investor/victims were elderly. The victims were told Matthew Earl Mangum, 51, of South Jordan, was an expert metallurgist and he had developed a revolutionary gold extraction process. Investors were told that the defendants controlled this proprietary, breakthrough, nanotechnology that used environmentally friendly means to recover microscopic particles of gold from dirt, a news release from USDOJ says.
Last year, York Hospital Radio launched an appeal for £15,000 to replace the life expired computers and to refurbish its studio facilities.
