A Washington man has been sentenced in a multimillionaire fraud scheme that involved grass seed at facilities in Albany and Jefferson.
Christopher Claypool, 53, of Spokane, was sentenced Wednesday to three years in federal prison and three years of supervised release. Under the terms of his plea agreement, Claypool already has paid nearly $8.3 million in restitution and agreed to forfeit nearly $7.8 million in criminally derived proceeds from his schemes.
Claypool pleaded guilty in March to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering in multiple schemes, some of which involved an Albany seed packing facility as well as a seed seller in Jefferson.
