Good to see we are hopefully removing this leach from his present scourge targetting the vulnerable.

Wonder if there is any chance of victims recouping their losses. I know somebody who got scammed by this.

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

Let's hope he gets the maximum

If extradited to the U.S. and convicted, West could face up to 40 years in prison

This Canadian is enjoying 20 years in Florida.

I don't know how these people sleep at night. My grandparents sold their business after owning it for close to 40 years because the amount of scams and threats being made to my VERY high strung grandmother were too much for her to handle. Threats about her being arrested and owing money would keep her up at night. She didnt pay them, but she worried about these calls relentlessly.

The only time I get religious and wish hell existed, is for people like this.
